Jan Karnti Adhikar Morcha (JKAM) leader Pappu Yadav on Friday said that the Dalits and the backward classes have suffered the most in the regime of Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar, adding that the Dalits should not even vote for them.
"Lalu and Nitish Kumar are the biggest enemies of Dalits and backward class. Yadav's have suffered the most when both of them were in power.
Both of them have looted Muslims and Dalits. The Dalits should not even vote for them," Yadav told ANI.
Yadav has formed JKAM after his expulsion from RJD.
The Madhepura MP was expelled from RJD on May 7 on charges of indulging in anti-party activities.
According to reports, the assembly polls in Bihar would be held most likely in September or October this year.
