RJD to approach EC over PM Modi's Shaitaan remark against Lalu Prasad
A delegation of RJD leaders will go to the EC office in Patna to lodge a formal complaint against the PM.
During his election meetings at Munger and Begusarai in Bihar on Thursday, Modi called Lalu Yadav ‘Shaitaan’ (devil) in reply to the RJD chief's earlier comment of 'shaitan' entering his tongue which made him make the beef comment in the context of the Dadri lynching.
Lalu Prasad, however, challenged the PM to show proof that he made the statement. "Modi should not add insult to Bihar through figment of his 'shaitan'. I challenge Modi and a few of his sycophant mediapersons to show me my statement on it (shaitan)," he tweeted.
Seeking to link the issue with the pride of backwards and dalits, Prasad said in his message on the micro-blogging site that "Modi called all dalits and backwards a 'shaitan' ...you are trying to hide behind 'shaitan' out of frustration with backwards and dalits rallying behind us."
