Rashtriya Janata Dal President Lalu Prasad on Wednesday said his party would not field any candidate in Uttar Pradesh elections and he would campaign for Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to ensure victory of socialist forces.
Addressing party workers after former Union minister Raghunath Jha joined the RJD, Prasad made a scathing attack on the BJP and said he would make all out efforts in the UP polls to ensure the defeat of saffron forces.
"The UP election is not an election of one state but of the entire country. After ensuring defeat of BJP in UP we would uproot the saffron party headed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2019," Prasad said.
"I would campaign for Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav to ensure victory of socialist forces," he added.
