PATNA: Union Home Minister Amit Shah on Thursday hit out at Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi, accusing him of insulting Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chhathi Maiya, and said the people of Bihar will give a befitting reply to the Congress and the Grand Alliance in the upcoming Assembly elections.
His comments came as LoP Gandhi, while addressing an election rally in Muzaffarpur, Bihar, on Wednesday, had launched a fierce attack on Prime Minister Modi and criticised his symbolic ‘Yamuna bath’ during Chhath Puja, calling it a staged photo opportunity. “There was no Yamuna ji there — just a pond filled with clean water for Modi ji. Clean water was brought through pipes for his photo-op, while the real India bathes in polluted water, ” LoP Gandhi had said.
