In a unified response to RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav’s recent controversial remarks aimed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi, top BJP leaders have taken a bold step by adding ‘Modi ka Parivaar’ (Modi’s Family) to their social media bios. This move comes in the wake of Yadav’s comment asserting that Prime Minister Modi has no family and is not even a Hindu, during a rally in Patna.
Prominent BJP figures such as Amit Shah, JP Nadda, Nitin Gadkari, and Jyotiraditya Scindia, among others, have updated their social media profiles with the tagline ‘Modi ka Parivaar’. This action signifies their solidarity with the Prime Minister and his vision of considering all 140 crore Indians as his family.
Adding his voice to the chorus, BJP leader Majinder Singh Sirsa emphasized the inclusivity of Modi’s family, stating that “INDI alliance members can’t insult PM Modi Ji’s family. 140 crore Indians are his family. We are all Modi Ka Parivar.”
Prime Minister Modi, addressing a gathering in Telangana’s Adilabad, dismissed Yadav’s remarks, asserting that every Indian is part of his family. He reaffirmed his commitment to serving all citizens, irrespective of their backgrounds, and criticized the opposition for resorting to personal attacks.
In response to Yadav’s comments, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla highlighted the diverse support base of Prime Minister Modi, stating, “Me and 140 crore Indians are part of PM Modi’s family.” He condemned Yadav for his derogatory remarks and emphasized the need for respectful political discourse.
The backlash against Yadav’s comments extended beyond party lines, with Bihar’s Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Sinha condemning them as disrespectful to the people of Bihar. JDU leader Neeraj Kumar also criticized Yadav for his language, stating that such remarks do not befit a seasoned politician.
Meanwhile, Lalu Prasad Yadav remained unapologetic during his address at the RJD’s ‘Jan Vishwas Maha Rally’ in Patna, where he accused Prime Minister Modi of spreading hatred in the name of religion. Despite mounting criticism, Yadav doubled down on his assertion that Modi lacks a family and questioned his religious identity.
The ongoing exchange underscores the intensifying political rhetoric ahead of crucial elections and highlights the deepening divide between opposing factions. As the verbal sparring continues, the focus remains on the evolving dynamics of Indian politics and the strategies employed by rival parties to sway public opinion.
