Jamui: Contrary to expectations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi maintained a silence over dynastic politics during his first election meeting at Jamui in Bihar on Thursday. RJD chief Lalu Prasad had created a storm after he said the PM was attacking dynastic politics since he had no family. BJP retorted to Lalus remark by launching a Modi Ka Parivar social media campaign.
Ahead of PMs visit to Bihar, former deputy CM and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav posted names of 14 NDA candidates on X, calling them products of dynastic politics or promoting nepotism. Tejashwi wrote, “There are pure 100 per cent dynastic candidates on all four seats (going to polls in the first phase). Of these, two are from so-called regional dynastic parties and two are from the countrys largest BJP filled with dynastic leaders.”
