PM Modi's Dig At Lalu Yadav

PM Modi launched a sharp attack on Bihar’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), accusing them of opposing the Maha Kumbh. Referring to Lalu Yadav’s tenure as “jungle raj,” he alleged that those unsettled by the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya are now targeting the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.

"The so-called ‘jungle raj’ leaders have an issue with our heritage. Millions—more than the population of Europe—have taken a holy dip in the Kumbh. And, yet People of Jungle Raj are abusing Kumbh. Those who were rattled by the Ram Mandir are now speaking against Kumbh. Bihar will never forgive them," PM Modi said while addressing the rally.

His remarks came shortly after RJD chief Lalu Prasad dismissed the Maha Kumbh as "useless" and blamed the Railways for the tragic stampede at New Delhi Railway Station, which claimed at least 18 lives.

On Sunday, Modi once again criticised opposition leaders for their remarks on the Maha Kumbh, stating that those with a "slave mentality" repeatedly attack Hindu beliefs. He accused some leaders of mocking and ridiculing Hinduism while allegedly working with foreign forces to weaken the country.

Highlighting the significance of the grand event, Modi said the Maha Kumbh stands as a testament to unity and will continue to inspire future generations.
