I would have crushed Varun, says Lalu

Kishanganj (Bihar): Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad on Monday said he would have “crushed” BJP candidate Varun Gandhi under a roller for his anti-Muslim speeches had he been the Union Home Minister.

“Had I been the country’s Home Minister, I would have crushed Varun Gandhi under a roller and destroyed him without caring for the consequences for his hate speech against Muslims,” Mr. Prasad told an election meeting here.

The Railway Minister recalled how he and his party frustrated the “communal” BJP’s bid to storm to power in the 2004 Lok Sabha elections and took on those raking up the issue of Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s foreign origin.

Attacking the Bihar Chief Minister, the RJD chief said: “Nitish is in the lap of L.K. Advani, who was directly involved in pulling down the Babri Masjid, but his dream will never come true.” — PTI
