First time a politician flee from country after losing polls – Ramvilas

LUCKNOW, Apr 17:
Union Food and Supply Minister and Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Ramvilas Paswan today maintained that it was for the first time in the Indian politics, that a leader fled the country after losing the elections.
“In democracy, some party wins and some loses, but it was for the first time a leader fled the country and the entire media kept guessing for two months,” he told reporters here, while referring to AICC vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
Though the Minister maintained that there should be no discussion on the issue as it is a matter of a family, he said as the ‘Yuraj’ has returned, he will now have to clarify why he fled from the country and what he did for the past 59 days. Mr Gandhi was on a sabbatical leave for 59 days and returned to the country yesterday.
Mr Paswan also refused to take any congisance on the proposed Kisan rally of Congress, to be addressed by Congress chief Sonia Gandhi and Rahul Gandhi. “The proposed Congress rally at Ramlila ground on Sunday next as per the media reports will draw only a couple of thousands of people, as the total capacity of the ground is 65,000,” he claimed.
Talking about the commitment of the NDA government towards Dalits, the Union Minister said the Centre would certainly pass the Bill in Parliament related to the Reservation in Promotion. “Presently, the Bill is before the Standing committee of Parliament and their report is expected very soon,” he added.
