Lalu Yadav's Halloween Fest With Grandchildren Draws BJP's 'Kumbh' Reminder | Read

The BJP has hit out at Lalu Yadav over Halloween celebrations at his home, pointing out that the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) patriarch had criticised the Kumbh festival. Sharing a news clip in which Yadav is heard calling Kumbh "meaningless," the BJP said those who attack faith won't get votes. Elections in Bihar are only days away.

The criticism followed Yadav's daughter Rohini Acharya posting visuals of her children in Halloween costumes on social media on Friday. Yadav was seen posing with his grandchildren, who were dressed as a Grim Reaper and in other costumes. "Happy Halloween to everyone," Acharya said in her post.

The BJP Kisan Morcha handle shared a split video of Yadav's remarks on Kumbh and the Halloween visuals, noting that the RJD leader has no problem with celebrating a British festival.
