Lalu Prasad Yadav's RJD to hold meet on June 5 after poll debacle

After a dismal show at the recently-concluded general elections, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has called a meeting on June 5 to chalk out its future plans, a senior party leader said on Monday.

It was decided at the party core committee meeting in the state capital in Monday in which its four newly-elected Lok Sabha members and all those candidates who lost from their parliamentary constituencies participated.

"We have authorised our leader Lalu Prasad to take necessary steps in the current political scenario at the national level. There is a need to unite secular forces in the country. Our party will be strengthened at the grassroots level," Singh, who lost the Lok Sabha elections from Vaishali constituency said.
