Lalu Prasad's 'jhumla' jibe after PM Narendra Modi's rally: 'Weather warning for Bihar'
In a post X, Lalu Prasad shared an AI-generated video with clips of PM Modi, Bihar CM Nitish Kumar, and wrote, "Weather warning in the interest of Bihar- Today there is heavy rain of lies, false promises and illusions in Bihar, hailstones of false and tempting promises are also falling along with thunder, be careful."
Earlier in the day, Modi attacked the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief over allegations that he "insulted" BR Ambedkar during his birthday celebrations.
The remarks came in reference to a viral video that surfaced earlier this week, showing Yadav's feet near Ambedkar's portrait.
'The whole country saw what the RJD did to Babasaheb's photo recently.... I know that these people will never apologise because they have no respect for the Dalits and the backwards. RJD and Congress place Babasaheb's photo at their feet while Modi keeps him in his heart,' Modi said.
He further slammed RJD and the Congress for looting Bihar, saying that poverty became the state's "misfortune".
"Those who brought 'jungle raj' to Bihar are looking for an opportunity to repeat their old deeds somehow. You have to be very cautious for the bright future of your children," the prime minister said during a public gathering in Siwan.
PM Modi described RJD and Congress' actions as "anti-Bihar and anti-investment". He said that they just nurtured "poor infrastructure, mafia raj, gunda raj, and corruption".
Further taking a swipe at the opposition, Modi said that the gist of their politics is "parivar ka sath, parivar ka vikas".
"They do not shy away from harming crores of families in Bihar for the benefit of their families. Babasaheb Ambedkar was against such politics," he added.

'Will not let India...': Big statement by Bangladesh High Commissioner; on relations with China and Pakistan, says...
Hindus in Bangladesh in distress, violence increased against...., 2442 cases reported in 330 days, Anti-India Yunus to... New Delhi: Ever since Mohammad Yunus took charge of the government in Bangladesh following the toppling of the Sheikh Hasina government, Dhaka has grown closer to China and Pakistan. The proximity of Bangladesh to China and Pakistan is considered a big threat to India. However, Bangladesh's High Commissioner to India, Riaz Hamidullah, has rejected such apprehensions as he assured India that Bangladesh's land cannot become a base for anti-India activities. In an interview with The Print, Hamidullah said that India-Bangladesh relations are decades old, which are based on mutual trust, shared economic interests and deep cultural ties. In such a situation, it is not right to say that there is any threat to the relations between the two countries. His comments hold a lot of significance as concerns have been growing about Dhaka's diplomatic relations with Beijing and Islamabad. What did Bangladesh's High Commissioner to India say? Hamidullah admitted that relations between Bangladesh and India have deteriorated in recent months as he expressed concern over India's suspension of medical visas and cross-border exchanges. He said Bangladesh has cultural ties with India. He gave the example of DPS Dhaka, an Indian school running in Bangladesh. Hamidullah said that despite political noise, economic relations are also continuing, and the bilateral trade is worth $13 billion. Calling the incidents of violence against religious minorities in Bangladesh sporadic, he asked not to generalize it. He said that there are more than 30,000 worship pavilions in Bangladesh and a few incidents of vandalism or violence do not define the entire society. What did he say about Pakistan and China? Hamidullah rejected the notion that Bangladesh's dealings with Pakistan or China reflect ideological change. He said, 'Defence level talks were held with Pakistan even during Sheikh Hasina's tenure. There has been no significant change in our policy. We want to make it clear that Bangladesh will not allow anyone to use its territory for hostile purposes.' On relations with China, Riaz Hamidullah said that this is due to economic reasons, adding that economic necessity promotes engagement but not cultural affinity.
