Patna: Deputy CM Sushil Kumar Modi on Sunday said the Bihar unit of Congress, which is the oldest political celebration within the country, used to be in entire disarray and virtually "mortgaged" to RJD leader Lalu Prasad.
"Congress was once a formidable political force in the state. Today, it has mortgaged itself to his (Lalu's) RJD," Modi said, adding: "This impression has now become stronger."
Modi made the commentary within the background of the beginning anniversary party of state's first CM Shrikrishna Singh here on Saturday. Lalu used to be the executive guest at the serve as organized under the aegis of Shrikrishna Singh Jayanti Samaroh Samiti (SSJSS) headed by former Union minister and now Congress leader Akhilesh Prasad Singh, who used to be once within the RJD. Several Congress contributors and functionaries had also attended the serve as.
The state BJP had also organized a identical serve as to rejoice the beginning anniversary of Shrikrishna Singh at the eve of the 2015 assembly elections in its bid to woo and cement its bond with folks of Bhumihar caste.
On Saturday, the Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular led by former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi, an NDA best friend, organized the beginning anniversary serve as of Bihar's first CM and spoke glowingly about him.
Curiously, as the state Congress got stuck within the pulls and pressures of the 'Mandal and Kamandal' politics, it also started dropping its social base and used to be reduced to 4 MLAs in 2010. In between, the celebration aligned with Lalu to form executive first in 2000 after which in 2015 as a part of the grand alliance, which, alternatively, got dismantled in July this 12 months after CM Nitish Kumar joined hands with the BJP to form the second NDA executive.
"Even when the Congress shared power with the RJD in Bihar, it was an open fact that Lalu used to have the final say in the distribution of ministerial berths," Modi also said.
Modi's pot pictures at the Congress have come in view of the bizarre backdrop of its contemporary inner trends. Recently the Congress high command, following due consultations, changed state celebration president Ashok Kumar Chaudhary and made Kaukab Quadri as in-charge president.
