“Just tie your old cows, which have stopped giving milk, at RSS and BJP workers’ (homes). Whenever you see stray cows, leave them at their houses and see how they react and what they do with them,” Lalu told workers, suggesting that the party “expose” the BJP on its pet theme. He also demanded that three of the four Shankaracharyas should be from the Other Backward Classes, Dalits and tribal communities.
