Patna (Bihar): Rashtriya Janta leader and Lalu Yadav's eldest son Tej Pratap Yadav on Friday took a dig at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, saying that he would face a defeat in the upcoming Bihar elections 2020 and compared it to the fall of the legendary character from Hindu mythology, Kansa.
"During 2020 Bihar upcoming election, it will be Nitish Kumar's government that will face defeat, similarly to Kansa," he said.
"Our supporters are doing their duty and trying their best to work towards development. Karma should be the priority, therefore don't worry about the fruits," he added.
Last year in May, private security guards of Tej Pratap, the eldest son of Lalu Prasad, roughed-up a cameraperson while he was covering Yadav at a polling booth.
Yadav later alleged that the entire incident was a conspiracy to 'murder him'.
He is known for donning Lord Krishna's avatar on the various festive occasions. He also dressed up as Lord Shiva in the Shravan month and prayed at a temple in Patna.
