RJD Chief Lalu Predicts Modi Govt To ‘Fall’ By August, Here’s What Chirag Paswan Said

Union Minister Chirag Paswan on Saturday refuted Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s ‘prediction’ that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government at the Centre would ‘fall by August.’

Paswan remarked, “Their (RJD) cadre could not prepare even in 10 years,” referring to the two terms of the PM Modi-led government from 2014 to 2024.

The former Bihar Chief Minister and president of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) asserted that Lalu Prasad Yadav was merely trying to keep RJD workers ‘occupied.’

“On behalf of the NDA, I can say that the strength of our government under the leadership of PM Narendra Modi will be maintained for the next five years and many strong and bold decisions will be taken. These will be supported by all parties of the NDA,” he asserted.

In the recent Lok Sabha elections, the Prime Minister’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the largest member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), secured its third consecutive government at the Centre. However, unlike its first two terms, where it held 282 and 303 seats in the 543-member Lok Sabha, the BJP now has 240 Members of Parliament (MPs), 32 seats short of the majority. Despite this, the NDA collectively has 293 Lok Sabha MPs, comfortably surpassing the majority mark.

Paswan’s LJP (Ram Vilas), a Bihar-based member of the BJP-led coalition, won all five seats it contested in the state.

Conversely, the Congress-led opposition INDIA bloc, which includes the RJD, delivered a surprisingly strong performance, securing 234 seats. The Congress itself won 99 seats, a significant increase from the 44 seats in 2014 and 52 seats in 2019, making it the largest opposition party in the Lower House of Parliament and second only to the BJP.
