I would have crushed Varun under a roller: Lalu

Lalu said he would have crushed Varun Gandhi under a roller if he had been the country's Home Minister.

RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Monday said he would have crushed BJP candidate Varun Gandhi under a roller for his anti-Muslim speeches if he had been the country’s Home Minister.

“Had I been the country’s home minister,I would have crushed Varun Gandhi under a roller and destroyed him without caring for the consequences for his hate speech against Muslims,” Prasad told an election meeting.

The Railway minister recalled how he and his party had frustrated the communal BJP’s bid to storm to power at the Centre in 2004 Lok Sabha polls and taken on those raking up the issue of Congress President Sonia Gandhi’s foreign origin.
