New Delhi, India – In a heartfelt message posted on social media, the former President of the Indian National Congress, Rahul Gandhi, extended birthday greetings to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Lalu Prasad Yadav. The message emphasized the deep bond between the two politicians rooted in shared values and their collective fight for social justice.
In his message, Gandhi acknowledged Lalu Yadav’s life-long struggles and his unwavering voice for the marginalized sections of society. He further underscored that these qualities made him a key figure in India’s political landscape.
Meanwhile, another Congress leader, Mallikarjun Kharge, also conveyed his best wishes for Lalu Yadav’s health and longevity. Kharge, who is a senior Congress leader and a contender for the Congress Presidency, highlighted the current alliance between the Congress party and the RJD in preparation for the upcoming Bihar elections.
Lalu Prasad Yadav turned 73 on Sunday, and his birthday was marked by an outpouring of greetings from political leaders and well-wishers across India. The former Bihar Chief Minister is currently serving a jail term in connection with several corruption cases.
In the run-up to the Bihar Assembly elections scheduled for later this year, the Congress party has been actively reaching out to regional parties like the RJD to form alliances and contest against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
