“I feel the entire group hasn’t been given the respect it deserved. I think he has done it a bit too late. He should have done it a long back,” she said.

Painfully….on the way out of BJP….But hopefully in the best direction under the dynamic leadership of my dear friend Lalu Yadav and the desirable, most talked about leader from the Nehru Gandhi family… the true family of nation builders… pic.twitter.com/9HSNhf9F1c
