Patna: Blaming Congress for non-formation of a "secular" ruling coalition in Jharkhand, RJD supremo Lalu Prasad today said the party's "arrogance" virtually cleared the pitch for a government with support of "communal" BJP.

"Had the Congress taken initiative for formation of a coalition government comprising secular parties and groups, it would have succeeded and the state would have been saved from a rule with support of communal forces, Prasad told reporters.

"In fact, Congress' arrogance virtually prevented the formation of a secular government in Jharkhand," he said, adding the Congress prevented formation of a secular coalition government also comprising JMM and JVM of Babulal Marandi.

JMM leader Sibu Soren was left with no option other than seeking help from the BJP for forming a government, Yadav added.

What is the meaning of Secularism, aft all? If Lalu joins Muharram with Muslims then he is Secular. If other leaders join Iftar party with Muslims then also they are Secular. But, if a leader form Govt. with the help of BJP, he is communal. I feel leaders like Lalu are communal in real sense. They play politics of Hindu vs. Muslim. People should come ahead and teach lesson to such type of psudo-secularists.
