Lalu’s horse carts to take on BJP ‘raths’
Patna: RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Friday said he will unleash 1,000 horse carts, called ‘Tum-Tum’, across Bihar to take on the BJP’s high-tech ‘raths’ ahead of assembly elections.
“I will flag off 1,000 Tum-Tums for campaigning to reach out to the poorest of the poor to counter the BJP raths,” the former chief minister said here.
“We don’t have funding from the rich. So the RJD has decided to use horse power to defeat the BJP’s machine power,” he said, referring to the ‘raths’.
“Dozens of Tum-Tums will be engaged by our party for campaigning in each constituency.”
Elections to the 243-seat Bihar assembly will take place later this year.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal leader said the horse carts were perfect for Bihar’s “dusty and rough roads. Tum-Tums will help us save money on petrol and diesel”.
BJP president Amit Shah on Thursday launched the party’s high-tech ‘Parivartan Rath’ campaign for the polls by flagging off 160 GPS-fitted ‘raths’ here.
The ‘raths’ would show a video film in Hindi depicting the 15 years of “misrule” of Bihar by Lalu Prasad and his wife Rabri Devi.

Gavaskar reckons Tewatia’s whirlwind knock in Sharjah (in IPL 2020) where he smashed West Indies pacer Sheldon Cottrell for five sixes in an over, gave him the confidence that he belongs to the big stage.
Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, Gavaskar said, “That assault on Sheldon Cottrell in Sharjah gave him the belief to do the impossible and the confidence that he belongs here. We saw the impossible (he did with the bat) the other day as well. There’s no twitching or touching the pads (which shows a batter’s nervousness) when he bats in the death overs. He just waits for the ball to be delivered and plays his shots. He’s got all the shots in the book, but most importantly his temperament to stay cool in a crisis is brilliant.”
Gavaskar has also nicknamed the 28-year-old cricketer the ‘ice-man’ and lauded Tewatia’s ability to remain unruffled during the tense moments.
