In the political arena of New Delhi, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal delivered a scathing critique directed at Lalu Prasad Yadav, the chief of the RJD and former Chief Minister of Bihar, who has been at the center of controversy due to his remarks concerning Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
The BJP and the INDIA bloc leaders find themselves entangled in a verbal skirmish, specifically revolving around the “no family” quip in anticipation of the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. In an interview with ANI, the Minister of Law and Justice articulated, “Ram embodies the essence of our nation. Only those who engage in discourse on such matters remain oblivious to this reality.”
The seasoned BJP luminary asserted, “Corruption, appeasement, and ‘Parivarvad’ have evolved into the triumvirate undermining the foundations of Indian democracy, necessitating their dismantling for the fortification of our democratic structure.” Rebuking Lalu Prasad Yadav, he contended, “Launching personal diatribes against PM Narendra Modi yields no dividends because we, as proud members of his national family, stand united.”
Addressing the ‘Jan Vishwas Maha Rally’ in Patna on Sunday, Lalu Yadav asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi propagates animosity under the guise of religion. Presently, he expounds on dynastic politics. He admonished, “You (PM Modi) lack familial ties. You are not even a adherent of Hinduism. When your mother passed away, every Hindu, following tradition, shaves both beard and head. Why did you abstain from this custom? You solely propagate discord in society,” proclaimed the RJD Chief.
In retort to the opposition gearing up to challenge the BJP in the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, PM Modi, a day prior, declared that the ethos of the INDI Alliance revolves around familial priorities, while his ideology centers on the nation. “We are championing the cause of women empowerment, ensuring our sisters become ‘Lakhpati Didis.’ My efforts aim to create three million prosperous sisters nationwide. However, the corrupt faction of the INDI Alliance opposes this endeavor. Faced with the lack of rejoinders to our resolutions, accomplishments, and policies, the INDI Alliance has escalated its attacks on Modi. They assert that Modi, devoid of family ties, must be ousted. These family-centric individuals portray it as an ideological battle, where the INDI Alliance prioritizes family, while Modi champions the nation. Modi dedicates himself to enhancing the future for every Indian family. He is tirelessly engaged in crafting a brighter future for every citizen of our nation,” affirmed the Prime Minister.
The imminent Lok Sabha elections are anticipated to unfold in April-May.
