PATNA: Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad on Wednesday said a “united opposition will dethrone the BJP government at the Centre in 2024 Lok Sabha elections”.

Addressing the RJD state council meeting here, Prasad said he would soon visit Delhi along with Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar to meet Congress president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi.

An ailing Prasad, who has been out of public galore lately, said Sonia Gandhi had now returned from abroad. “We will meet her. Once Rahul Gandhi returns to Delhi (from Bharat Jodo Yatra), we will also meet him,” he added.

Yadav’s son and Bihar deputy chief minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav and senior party leader Sharad Yadav were also present in the meeting.

Terming the BJP as a “party of rioters,” he said every party had bowed before it, but I did not. “Had I also had bowed before it, I would not have gone to jail,” he said.

“I stand firmly on my ideology. Many parties have compromised with the BJP, but I have neither bowed down nor will I ever bow down. BJP is our biggest enemy,” he added.
