RJD Leaders Celebrate Party's 11th Anniversary
Patna: July 5, 2007
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leaders on Thursday celebrated the 11th foundation day of the party by holding a meeting at the state headquarters in Patna while promising to strengthen the party in the coming days and criticizing the Nitish-led NDA government in Bihar accusing it of unleashing a reign of terror among the poor and the backwards.
Presiding over the event, the party state president Abdul Bari Siddiqui said the state was undergoing a very bad period under the Nitish government as atrocities were being committed on the dalits and there was no one to listen to their plights.
"Poor and dalits are being attacked systematically and crime data is touching a new height in Bihar. Bureaucracy is completely out of control and corruption has seeped into every single government offices," Siddiqui said of the NDA government.
Shyam Rajak, senior party leader, said the party would recruit new workers at a camp to be held in Rajgir on July 14 and 15.
"Training will be provided to the new recruits and seasoned party activists will be asked to further the party's agenda by going to each block and villages and exposing the true picture of the Nitish government," Rajak said.
Others present on the occasion included party spokesperson Shankar Prasad Tekriwal, Bheem Singh, and Ramvachan Rai.
