Patna, Sept 20 (ANI): The activists of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) here celebrated the party’s good show in the by-election for 18 legislative assembly seats.
The RJD-Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) won eight seats in the by-election for 18 legislative assembly seats, a major set back to ruling Janata Dal-United (JD-U).
The JD (U) bagged three seats while its ally the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) won two seats.
The activists burst crackers and distributed sweets to celebrate the win at the party office.
RJD leader Lalu Prasad termed the results as referendum on the ruling government.
“It is not possible for the Bihar Government-led by Nitish Kumar to return. The RJD alliance will return to power. The people of Bihar have welcomed us with open arms,” said Yadav.
The RJD failed poorly in Lok Sabha election in April-May this year, winning just four seats out of the total 40 in Bihar. (ANI)
Shilpa Shetty offers prayers to Lord Ganesha
Mumbai, Aug 30 (ANI): Bollywood actor Shilpa Shetty offered prayers to Lord Ganesha at a makeshift temple here.
Shetty’s beau Raj Kundra, the London-based Indian millionaire, accompanied her.
Responding to the rumours that she will be marrying Kundra later this autumn, she said in a lighter vein that every one would be invited in advance.
“The day I get married I’ll send invitations to all of you (the media persons) and invite you. I will give you a months notice,” she said.
The couple formed a successful business partnership, which includes a 10 million pounds stake in the Rajasthan Royals Twenty20 cricket team and a recently acquired food company.
The 34-year-old actress had become a household name in the United Kingdom after she won the ‘Celebrity Big Brother’ in 2007.
The show sparked a huge outcry in Britain and India after housemates made racist comments against her, forcing Channel 4 to apologize.
Soon after her win she had got engaged to the jewellery tycoon. (ANI)
