NEW DELHI: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday targetted Rahul Gandhi and Lalu Yadav for allegedly consuming mutton during the month of Sawan last year.
The Prime Minister, who was addressing an election rally in Jammu and Kashmir’s Udhampur, referred to a viral video from September 2023, in which the two leaders were seen preparing “Champaran mutton” together.
PM Modi accused the INDIA bloc allies of “echoing the Mughal era mentality” and attempting to “provoke citizens”.
“They visit a criminal’s house, a convict out on bail in Sawan to cook mutton. They make videos to mock people, echoing the Mughal era mentality. They aim to provoke citizens and secure their vote bank, now they’ll rain bullets on me, abuse me. But it’s my responsibility to show the the right aspect to the country,” PM Modi said.
Earlier this week, a video of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav eating fish fry during Navratri sparked controversy, with BJP leaders and some netizens expressing disapproval.
Union minister Giriraj Singh accused Yadav of engaging in “politics of appeasement” and mentioned his father, Lalu Prasad’s alleged leniency towards Rohingya Muslims and Bangladesh immigrants during his tenure.
Yadav defended himself on X, stating that the video was recorded on April 8, a day before Navratri began. He dismissed the outrage as a distraction tactic and mocked the reaction of BJP supporters and the media, asserting that Sahni’s use of the phrase “mirchi lagegi” had been proven correct.
