People of Bihar should be careful: Ravi Shankar Prasad

Ravi Shankar Prasad said that a case of Rs 420 has been filed against you (Tejashwi Yadav). It is an old case. Not a new case. Charges have been framed. There will be a trial. He said, “The governance system of Lalu, Rabri and Tejashwi is very clean. They eat fodder, smoke bitumen, rig tenders for land… I want to caution the people of Bihar. Please do not fall for their words. They will take your land, but you will not get a job…”

On the other hand, he said, “Why is Prashant Kishor not contesting the elections? We will definitely raise this question. He also wants to change Bihar. Perhaps he also has a dream of becoming the Chief Minister, hence he should contest the elections. Why do not he have the courage? The people of the state are seeing all this and I have full confidence that they will give full support to the NDA.”
