Lalu Yadav wrote on Twitter that, prominent social activists would have “failed in their efforts, history would have treated them as villains. They still are villains for the biased, racist and caste-ist minds”.

Had people like Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Baba Saheb Ambedkar failed in their efforts, history would have treated them as villains. They still are villains for the biased, racist and caste-ist minds. No one should expect any different treatment.

Lalu said in an another tweet that layer of layer of bias and hatred will still be removed, come what may! and added  “In end Truth will win”.

Truth can be made to appear as a lie, as ambiguous or a half lie by concerted onslaught of bias driven propaganda. But blurred layer of bias and hatred will still be removed, come what may! In end Truth will win

A lie can travel half way around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes. ….But still prevails…In the end though.

Criticising BJP, Lalu said that the party is ‘trying to manipulate public perception through malicious means” and is also playing with ’emotions of the public’. He also said that in this crusade, he is not alone and entire Bihar is with him.

धूर्त भाजपा अपनी जुमलेबाज़ी व कारगुज़ारियों को छुपाने और वोट प्राप्त करने के लिए विपक्षियों का पब्लिक पर्सेप्शन बिगाड़ने के लिए राजनीति में अनैतिक और द्वेष की भावना से ग्रस्त गंदा खेल खेलती है।

झूठे जुमले बुनने वालों सच अपनी ज़िद पर खड़ा है।धर्मयुद्ध में लालू अकेला नहीं पूरा बिहार साथ खड़ा है।
