Lalu Says He Won’t Mind Denial to a Cabinet Berth

With voices raising against RJD chief Lalu Yadav inside the Congress and the party reluctant to accommodate him in the new government, an apparently resigned Lalu said that he would not feel bad if he doesn’t get a cabinet berth. 

Referring to his party’s dismal performance in polls, the RJD chief, the Railway Minister in the previous UPA government, said that those who bring power to Delhi are worshipped and he did not get that power.

“I would not feel bad if I am not offered a berth in the Cabinet,” he said. 

The RJD chief said that he has pledged unconditional support to the Congress-led UPA government and has no qualms about not being part of the new government. 

When asked about the future of the Fourth Front comprising RJD, LJP and Samajwadi Party, Prasad claimed that such a Front did not exist at all.  

“There was no Fourth Front. We had an understanding with our alliance partners,” he said.       

To a question, he said he shared good relationship with Congress president Sonia Gandhi’s family and would not like to say a single word against them.
