RJD chief Lalu Prasad and his supporters fasted here on Sunday to protest against the central government's failure to make public the caste-based census."We are fasting to expose the Narendra Modi government's anti-poor, anti-Dalit and anti-backward face," Lalu Prasad told the media at the Gandhi Maidan here where the one-day protest is being observed.
Ram Chandra Purve, the state president of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), said the fast was "just a beginning" in the campaign against the Modi government. Lalu Prasad has called a shutdown in Bihar on Monday over the issue.
