RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Thursday said the BJP will be "clean bowled" in the assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh, just like in the Bihar elections last year.

Lalu said he fully understands the pulse of the people. "BJP will be cleaned bowled in assembly polls in Uttar Pradesh like Bihar. Samajwadi Party and Congress alliance will win the polls with majority and form the next government there," he said in tweets.

Lalu taunted Prime Minister Narendra Modi for the hike in LPG prices by Rs 86.50, saying that the central government has robbed the common people.

Lalu has been campaigning for Congress and Samajwadi Party candidates in the ongoing assembly elections in Uttar Pradesh since last month.  

The former Bihar Chief Minister has repeatedly claimed that the Bharatiya Janata Party will be defeated in Uttar Pradesh. Lalu Prasad said BJP leaders had realized there was no Modi wave in Uttar Pradesh. The BJP will also taste defeat in Punjab, Goa and Uttarakhand, he said.
