Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad made a sharp remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi during the Jan Vishwas Maharally in Patna’s Gandhi Maidan by saying that the “PM is not a Hindu” as he did not shave his head and beard after the death of his mother a few years ago.
The public meeting was the first joint rally of Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) after the Janata Dal (United) led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar snapped ties with the RJD and joined hands with the BJP to form a government in the State.
Mr. Modi’s mother Heeraben Modi died at the age of 99 in December 2022.
