Bhagwat reservation comment: Lalu asks PM Modi to clarify his stance on the issue

[related-post]

Lalu Prasad Yadav was flanked by state Congress President Ashok Choudhary and JD(U) MP and spokesman Pawan Varma at the press conference.

The RJD chief, who has been under attack from NDA over his “Hindus too eat beef comment”, raised the reservation issue seeking to put Modi on the defensive.

He also showed RSS patriach M S Golwalkar book “Bunch of Thoughts” to highlight the saffron ideological organisation’s viewpoint against reservation in jobs.

Terming Modi and the RSS chief as “anti-Dalit and anti-backward”, Prasad showed a book “Karmayog’ written by Modi in which he mentioned that dalits happily used to carry night soil.

Prasad claimed that in the book, Modi said that dalits were like a “mentally weak child who needs special care.”

On his beef comment, Lalu was evasive, saying these are nonsensical things as he worships and respects cow.
