BJP leaders on Monday added “Modi ka parivar” (Modi’s family) to their social media profiles, reacting to Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav’s jibe directed at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for having “no family” at a public rally of the INDIA bloc in Patna.
Mr. Yadav had made the remarks while referencing Mr. Modi’s attacks on dynastic politics, asking why the PM did not have a family.
Union Ministers Amit Shah, Rajnath Singh, Nitin Gadkari and Nirmala Sitharaman, and BJP chief J.P. Nadda were joined by party members from across the country in declaring themselves “Modi ka parivar “ on their social media accounts, as the ruling party launched a sharp counterattack on the Opposition. Many supporters of Mr. Modi on social media also made the same change on their pages.
