Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Wednesday aimed potshots at Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) chief Mohan Bhagwat over his name being proposed for the post of President and in a veiled attack said that the latter not only has undemocratic views but also is against the backward class.
Lalu said that he won’t make any unnecessary compromise in this regard.
“Mohan Bhagwat?s views on democracy, backward classes, Constitution of India are known to all. We will not make an unnecessary compromise. Soon we will hold another meeting in Delhi in this regard,” said Yadav.
