कितनी खूबसूरत तस्वीर होती जब इतनी ही चाहत से नवरात्रि पे फलाहार का आयोजन करते और सुंदर सुदंर फ़ोटो आते??...अपने कर्म धर्म मे हम पिछड़ क्यों जाते और दिखावा में आगे रहते है??? pic.twitter.com/dy7s1UgBgy

Commenting on Giriraj’s tweet, JDU leader KC Tyagi said “We will wear caps also and even hug each other on Eid”. He further reminded Giriraj of the statement made by Prime Minister Narendra Modi where he said that we have to move ahead by taking everyone along with us. The tweet has come at a time when there are speculations over rift between BJP and Nitish after the former’s party was deprived of any ministerial post in PM Modi’s new cabinet. This comes a day after RJD Chief Lalu Yadav's wife Rabri Devi on Monday told media that if Nitish wants to join hands with Grand alliance, he is welcome to do so.  "If Nitish Kumar joins the Grand Alliance again, we have no objection to it," Rabri Devi said.
