Lalu Yadav calls for Bihar bandh today

Demanding the release of caste census figures by the NDA Government, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has called for a state-wide bandh in Bihar today.

The former Bihar Chief Minister had yesterday observed a day's fast to protest against the non-disclosure of the caste census report.

Lalu had earlier accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of insulting the 'blood of Bihar' through his DNA remark on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

Prime Minister Modi had earlier said there was something wrong with Kumar's political DNA that led him to ditch friends who once worked with him.
