Laloo's 1,000 Tumtums

Lalu Prasad today said his party will counter the 160 'Parivartan raths' with 1000 'tumtums'. Fitted with 'bhoppu' (loudspeakers), these low budget 'tumtums' would move in the interior areas of Bihar carrying the party's message for the poor and expose the BJP, he said...... Prasad made a scathing attack at the Modi government and said "when the poor asks for roti, the government asks them to do yoga." ...... Prasad said this at a function in the Gandhi Maidan which was the venue of an NDA function yesterday where BJP president Amit Shah flagged off 160 high-tech 'Parivartan raths'. ...... He asserted if the caste report was not made public he would observe one day protest fast on July 26 and RJD would organise Bihar bandh the next day.
