A twitter jibe by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) on Sunday equating the new Parliament building with a ‘coffin’ elicited a sharp reaction from the BJP which said the social media post was “condemnable” and that a case of treason should be registered against the ruling party in Bihar for this.
“Yeh Kya hei [What is this]”, the RJD asked in the tweet posting a picture of the Parliament and a coffin side by side shortly before Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the new Parliament building. The RJD is among 19 parties which have boycotted the inauguration.
The BJP’s Bihar unit reacted by saying: “The first picture is your future and the second is of India. Understood?”
