“Jaswi is hiding his father Lalu’s ‘sins.

‘” Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched a scathing attack on the opposition alliance, the Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INIA), on Monday, saying that the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress are fighting among themselves, while the alliance’s chief ministerial candidate, Tejashwi Yadav, is trying to “hide the sins” of his father, Lalu Prasad Yadav. Addressing public rallies in Saharsa and Katihar districts, the Prime Minister said, “The Congress and RJD families are interested in foreign trips and celebrating foreign festivals, but they don’t find time to visit the Ram Temple in Ayodhya and call Chhath Puja a ‘drama.'” The Prime Minister’s statement is believed to be related to videos circulating on social media showing RJD chief Lalu Prasad celebrating Halloween with his grandchildren. Modi said, “Tejaswi Yadav talks about his father’s legacy but avoids using his picture on election posters. After all, what are the sins of that big leader of the so-called ‘Jungle Raj’ that this prince wants to hide?” Although the Prime Minister did not name any opposition leader, his statement drew sharp reactions from both Tejashwi Yadav and Misa Bharti. Tejashwi Yadav said, “The Prime Minister should stop talking nonsense and tell the 14 crore people of Bihar what he has done for them. As for Lalu Prasad, his tenure as Railway Minister was a historic success, which his opponents still envy.” Misa Bharti said, “Who says that Lalu Prasad’s posters have not been put up? Does the Prime Minister come to Bihar only to count how many posters the RJD has put up?” It would be better if they talk on concrete issues.” The Prime Minister reiterated that the RJD had made Tejashwi Yadav the Chief Ministerial face of the ‘India’ alliance by “putting a gun on the temple of the Congress” and claimed that “now the Congress wants to avenge that insult.” Tejashwi Yadav retorted, “Has anyone ever seen a Prime Minister using such a weapon?” Misa Bharti said, “The Prime Minister should be talking about employment, but he is lecturing people on a ‘gun’.”
