Lalu will become political refugee after LS polls: BJP

BJP's response comes after Lalu called L K Advani a Pakistani refugee

BJP today flayed Lalu Prasad for calling L K Advani a "Pakistani refugee" and said the RJD leader would himself become a "political refugee" after his party's "humiliating" defeat in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls.

"Lalu Prasad seems to be in awe of using the word refugee nowdays... He called L K Advani a Pakistani refugee...But he does not know that he himself will become a political refugee a few weeks from now after humiliating defeat in the polls," leader of opposition in Assembly Nand Kishore Yadav told reporters here.

Yadav also criticised Prasad for calling BJP "communal", saying the RJD chief himself has joined hands with Congress, which he alleged, was responsible for the 1989's Bhagalpur communal carnage.

Mocking at Prasad's claims of winning the polls, the senior BJP leader said, "The state has moved from the politics of caste, lathi and lantern (RJD's symbol) and people are not impressed with the RJD chief's campaigning knowing he could neither become an MP nor an MLA for the next few years.
