Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Wednesday said that his fight against poverty will go on and he will continue to provide help for the reservation of the backward classes.
"The BJP and the RSS want to take away the reservation of the backward and the poor people. I won't let their dreams come true. This fight against poverty will go on," Lalu told the media here.
An FIR was lodged yesterday against the RJD chief for provoking caste feelings during a speech two days earlier in Raghopur.
Lalu had called the poll a backward-versus-forward fight and a Mahabharata exhorted Yadavs to stay awake and united and said that the RSS is full of Brahmins.
