PATNA: While Tamil Nadu sports minister Udhayanidhi Stalin’s controversial remarks about Sanatan Dharma continues generating much political heat across the country, RJD chief Lalu Prasad has suddenly gone on frequent temple hopping these days, triggering speculations as to if that is aimed at wooing the Hindu voters through "soft Hindutva" ahead of the upcoming Lok Sabha polls. Both Stalin’s DMK and Lalu’s RJD are part of the newly-formed opposition INDIA block.
On Sunday again, Lalu accompanied by his wife and former CM Rabri Devi left for Deoghar town in neighbouring Jharkhand to offer prayers to Lord Shiva. He will visit the temple on Monday and offer prayers there. Lalu himself has revealed how Shiva once visited in his dreams while he was in judicial custody and advised him to quit non-vegetarian foods although he shrugged off his advice later and started relishing fish and mutton.
