Union Minister Rajiv Pratap Rudy on Friday mocked the Congress by saying that they are irrelevant in Bihar and will very soon be routed out from Indian politics, as both Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav have expressed their inability to attend Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's rally.
"Well it's obvious that in Bihar Congress is irrelevant now, and having said that the man who takes the position of stalling the parliament and take the country for a ride is being taken on a ride by Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar,"Rudy told ANI.
"As they are decimated in Bihar very soon they will be decimated across the country, otherwise also they don't have much position is Bihar and I believe that their behavior in parliament will compel them to be completely rousted from the Indian politics," he added.
According to reports, Nitish and Lalu are likely to skip Rahul Gandhi's rally at Ramnagar in Bihar's West Champaran on September 19.
