Patna, July 31 (UNI) The RJD would stage two-day block-level to district-level dharna from tomorrow to protest the ''failure'' of the Nitish Kumar government in launching rescue and relief operation in the flood-hit areas of Bihar.

State RJD President Abdul Bari Siddiqui told newspersons here that the flood situation had exposed the ''tall claims'' of the NDA government on foolproof arrangements to meet the eventuality.

'' RJD supremo Lalu Prasad will also make an aerial survey of the flood-affected areas tomorrow and all the senior leaders of the party have been asked to participate in the agitational programme of the party in their respective areas, '' Mr Siddiqui said.

'' The callousness of the NDA government on sufferings of the flood-affected people could be gauged from the fact that Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was away in Mauritius leaving the millions of the people at the mercy of the God, '' he maintained.

Taking a potshot at the reported request of the Chief Minister for investment from Mauritius in Bihar, Mr Siddiqui said it was ridiculous that the state was seeking investment from such a small country.

RJD MP and prinicipal general-secretary of the party Ram Kripal Yadav, also present on the occasion, said party workers would burn the effigy of Mr Kumar in Patna tomorrow to protest the ''failure'' of the NDA government in flushing out the water, accumulated in the low-lying areas here due to incessant rains for the past two weeks.
