On Tuesday, the chief of the Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD), Lalu Prasad Yadav, caused a stir when he said that the opposition group INDIA “had Narendra Modi by the throat.”
Lalu Yadav used a Bihari slang expression to criticise Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday while speaking to reporters in Patna before boarding a flight to Mumbai. He said, “Hum log Narendra Modi ka nareti pakde hue hain……nareti par chadhne jaa rahe hain (we are holding Narendra Modi by his throat, we are going to tighten our hold).”
The RJD supremo, who was heading to Mumbai for his medical examination in addition to attending the conference with INDIA allies that was slated for Thursday, was accompanied by his son Tejashwi Yadav. Both of these events were scheduled to take place on Thursday.
In response to the comment made by Lalu Yadav, the spokesperson for the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), Nikhil Anand, stated that the language used by the RJD veteran demonstrates his eagerness to capture headlines and put pressure on the current incumbent of the position of Chief Minister of Bihar, Nitish Kumar.
What sort of example is he establishing for other politicians, and what kind of a message does he want to send to the people who support him? Anand advised that Laluji not use inappropriate words when speaking about any of the leaders.
“At the end of his political career, Laluji is desperate to make his son the chief minister of Bihar,” the politician continued, “and that is why he is going out of his way to grab headlines and pressurise Nitish Kumar.”
