The nationwide and state parliamentary boards of RJD final week licensed Lalu Prasad to pick candidates for the upper house of parliament.
“Lalu has favoured Ram Jethmalani for 2 factors. First he’s a BJP baiter after being expelled from the saffron party in 2013, and second is that he has been serving to Lalu within the multi-crore fodder scam instances,” one other RJD chief stated.
With 80 legislators within the Bihar meeting, two RJD nominees for the 5 Rajya Sabha seats will get by simply.
