In Udhampur, PM Modi's remarks on 'mutton' caused a political stir in Bihar. PM Modi had mocked Lalu-Tejashwi and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, suggesting they intend to provoke the public with such videos. Previously, Lalu Yadav was seen cooking mutton with Rahul Gandhi, and recently Tejashwi Yadav shared a video of himself eating fish. When PM Modi brought this up on stage, a vehement comeback followed.
The PM Can Say Anything: Tejashwi
Tejashwi Yadav countered PM Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's statements, saying, "I am talking about employment, about jobs. Prices have been high for a long time, and there's no accountability. The PM can say anything, but the public wants to hear what he has done for Bihar in the last decade. The PM should account for his 10 years and stick to the issues."
Why is PM Modi Silent?
"What are we talking about? We’ve been addressing jobs, employment, and inflation, but there is no response from the PM. Whatever the PM might say, the public is eager to know what has been done for the people of Bihar. We are demanding an account of what has been achieved in Bihar over 10 years. It's high time the Prime Minister gives a full account instead of remaining silent. As for the Chief Minister, we wish him health and prosperity, despite being older, we'll listen to him."
What Did PM Modi Say?
PM Modi criticized the festive-time non-veg eating videos of Lalu Yadav, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, and Rahul Gandhi. During an election rally in Udhampur, J&K, without directly naming Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, PM Modi remarked about cooking mutton at the house of a convicted individual during the month of Sawan. He mentioned, "Neither the law nor Modi prevents anyone from eating anything. Everyone is free to eat veg or non-veg whenever they want, but these people's intent with such videos is to rile up the nation."
