MUZAFFARPUR: Claiming that the RJD has subordinated itself to the RJD in Bihar, former poll strategist Prashant Kishor on Sunday challenged Rahul Gandhi to criticise Lalu Prasad for having a portrait of Ambedkar placed at his feet.

Kishor, whose fledgling outfit Jan Suraaj Party seeks to make a splash in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections, addressed a press conference in the district of Muzaffarpur.

Replying to a query on the Congress' prospects, Kishor, who had sought to join that party before launching Jan Suraaj campaign, said "The Congress has reduced itself to a sidekick of the RJD in Bihar. Earlier, the state Congress was beholden to Lalu Prasad, now it is the turn of (younger son and heir apparent) Tejashwi Yadav".
