Patna: The Janata Dal-U (JDU) has launched a website called ‘Phulwaria to Hotwar’ to apprise youths of massacres that took place when Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi were the chief ministers of Bihar from 1990 to 2005.
JDU has dubbed the killings as the ‘Jungle Raj’ under the husband and wife who were in power in Bihar for more than a decade. The website was jointly launched by Information and Public Relations Minister Neeraj Kumar, JDU national general secretary Aafaq Ahmed, spokesperson Dr Ajay Alok, Sanjay Verma and Abhishek Jha at the party office.
It is worth mentioning that RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav was born in Phulwaria village under Gopalganj district. In the fodder scam, Yadav is currently serving sentence in Hotwar jail in Ranchi, Jharkhand. That is why the website has been named as ‘Phulwaria to Hotwar’.
Bihar’s Information and Public Relations Minister Neeraj Kumar said that this website gives details about scams, corruption, crime and lack of development in the State during the rule of Lalu and his wife Rabri Yadav.

It has been conveyed through the website how the situation of Bihar was during the regime of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Rabri Devi. Corruption and crime were at their peak. New scams were exposed every day. The website has two symbolic cartoons of Lalu Prasad Yadav. Through them, the JDU has tried to tell what was the condition of Bihar at that point of time. It has also been conveyed that if the timely action was taken on the basis of the report of the Vigilance DSP Vidyut Bhushan Dwivedi, the State would have saved Rs 750 crore in the fodder scam.
MASSACRE DETAILS ON THE WEBSITE
* 16 people killed in four massacres in Nalanda district
* 175 people killed in 14 massacres in Arwal district
* 51 people killed in five massacres in Aurangabad district
* 96 people killed in 15 massacres in Patna district
* 16 people killed in two massacres in Buxar district
Information and Public Relations Minister Neeraj Kumar said that the new generation of people can visit this website and get information very easily about the ‘Jungle Raj.’ There is a provision where one can also share his experience if any about the ‘Jungle Raj.’ Clippings of newspapers related to the events of that period have also been put on the website including the documents of corruption.
It has also been mentioned how much property is owned by every member of the family of Lalu Prasad Yadav. Along with all this, details of several scams including Bihar Bhawan scam and travel allowance scam have also been mentioned.
Finally, Neeraj Kumar lashed out at Tejashwi, saying that when Tejashwi Yadav is the heir to the assets of Lalu Prasad Yadav, then how will he not be the heir to his crime? He is already involved in corruption. The RJD has given tickets to the relatives of the accused of rape, displaying utter shamelessness. The RJD intends to form the government by relying on these forces, which will never be fulfilled.
