Former Bihar minister Ashok Singh joins RJD

RJD chief Lalu Prasad announced the induction of former Minister Ashok Singh into his party at function in Patna on August 29, 2010.

Speaking on the occasion Lalu Prasad said no leader from forward communities could dream of becoming the chief minister of Bihar.

He also said that he stood for the welfare of all communities and had even proposed 10 per cent job quota for the poor upper caste people if the RJD-LJP combine returns to power in the coming Assembly polls.

Lalu said he would put Bihar on the map of developed states in the next five years if voted to power and urged the electorate to ignore Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's alleged attempts to create fear in the public mind about the state of affairs during 15 years of the RJD rule in the state.
