PM Modi's 'Halloween' Jab At Lalu Yadav Ignites Bihar Election War

This special report focuses on the escalating political tensions in Bihar, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi targeting RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav and the Congress party. The Prime Minister has accused the opposition alliance of disrespecting Hindu traditions after pictures of Lalu Yadav's family celebrating Halloween surfaced. PM Modi stated that the 'Congress-RJD are experts in disrespecting our faith'. During a poll rally, he referenced past controversies, alleging that an RJD leader had called the Maha Kumbh 'faltu' (useless) and a Congress leader termed the revered Chhath Mahaparv a 'drama'. This exchange comes just days before the state elections, with the BJP framing the issue as an insult to cultural and religious sentiments to rally voter support.
