Lalu invokes gods, seeks astrological remedies to tide over 'difficult' times

July 01, 2017 18:19

Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Prasad and his family seem to be busy in performing religious rituals and seeking astrological remedies, apparently to tide over the difficult times they were facing at present.

Allegations of dubious financial deals have recently been levelled against Prasads family and the re-opening of fodder scam cases, in which the RJD chief is an accused, has only added to their trouble.

On Saturday, nine priests were reportedly called to Prasads 10, Circular Road house to recite Sunderkand, a chapter in Ramcharitra Manas, to invoke Lord Hanuman and seek his blessings to overcome obstacles and ward off any negative vibe.

The priests, who were seen going inside the house with harmonium, dholaks and other music instruments, confirmed to reporters that they had been called to recite the Sundarkand.

Close aides of the RJD chief, however, denied any such religious event at Prasads house.

No, we have not organised any such religious event, one of them said.
