PATNA: Thousands of leaders and supporters of Bihar’s principal opposition RJD hit the streets on Sunday to stage a demonstration against the rising inflation following a call of slogan by RJD chief Lalu Prasad.

RJD’s 2-day state-wide protest will end on Monday with a resolve to fight against inflation by uprooting the NDA from the governance.
The protest by RJF got momentum when RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav made a clarion call taking to his twitter handle and saying: “I am giving a recipe to reduce inflation. Remove the NDA, Reduce the Inflation”.
The 2-day protest was further backed up when Lalu wrote in his tweet on July 17: 'There will be a protest of RJD on 18-19 July against inflation. Corruption, inflation, unemployment, poverty is increasing and the government is fighting with the common people. Oppose this cruel government vehemently. There has been a lot of inflation, leave the chair shameless government”.
On Saturday, the RJD’s ally in the Mahagatvandhan-the Congress Party had protested against the inflation and hike in fuel prices by organizing a cycle rally across the state capital.
