Attempting to woo the voters ahead of the Bihar Assembly polls, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Monday alleged that the RSS is a party of cheats and the BJP is working to end reservation of the minorities and the Dalits.
"RSS is a party of rumours and lie and BJP is working to end reservation of the minorities and the Dalits," Lalu said in a series of tweets.
"RSS is a racist and male-dominated organization. RSS tries to deceit 80 percent of the nation's minorities and the Dalits," he added.
"Why no woman has been made the RSS chief yet? Why a person from a non-Brahmin society is not made the chief of the organization?" asked Lalu.
The RJD is contesting the Bihar polls in alliance with the Janata Dal (United) and the Congress.
Polls for the 243-member Bihar Assembly will be held in five phases starting on October 12 and ending on November 5. Counting of votes will take place on November 8.
