Lantern has cracked, oil has spilled: Rajnath flays grand alliance

New Delhi: Defence Minister and senior BJP leader Rajnath Singh on Wednesday hit out at Congress-RJD alliance Mahagathbandhan over ‘the reign of terror’ during 15 years of Lalu regime.

Addressing a public rally in Kahalgaon, he said that the games of grand alliance won’t work in elections as people have made up minds to stick with growth model under NDA leadership.

In the battleground Bihar, top BJP leaders are canvassing for the return of Nitish-led NDA for the record fourth term. Addressing the rally, Rajnath said, “The lantern (RJD) has cracked and oil has spilled. Now, hands (Congress) and their games will not work.”
