Ravi Shankar Prasad, a prominent leader of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), has recently criticized the Vice Presidential candidate of the India Block for their meeting with Lalu Prasad Yadav. The specific details of the critique and the context of the meeting are outlined below.

Ravi Shankar Prasad has a history of targeting Lalu Prasad Yadav and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). He has previously accused Lalu Prasad Yadav of corruption and highlighted various scams allegedly linked to him. Prasad was also the main lawyer arguing the PIL against Lalu Prasad in the fodder scam, which led to the jailing of several politicians and officials.

In the past, Prasad has criticized opposition parties for aligning with the Indian National Congress, reminding them of the Emergency imposed by Indira Gandhi. He has also questioned the unity and motives of the opposition in their efforts to challenge Prime Minister Narendra Modi's leadership. Furthermore, Prasad has accused Lalu Prasad Yadav of using the railways for his family's profit. He has also stated that during Lalu-Rabri rule, only 95,000 jobs were given.

Prasad has also commented on the selection of Justice (retd) B Sudarshan Reddy as the opposition's Vice-Presidential candidate, questioning his understanding and vision. He referred to the Manmohan Singh government's stand on Naxalism in the Salwa Judum case in 2011, suggesting Reddy's comments in the case decision were beyond the scope of a judicial approach.
