PM Modi Targets Opposition Over Non-Vegetarian Food, Tejashwi Yadav Hits Back

Just a week to go for the first phase and no issue is off limits. Prime Minister Narendra Modi today came out all guns blazing against Tejashwi Yadav over what he said was exhibiting the thoughts of the Mughal era, attempting to tease people and fortify their vote bank.  Without naming him, the PM said uploading a video of consuming non-vegetarian food during Navratra was an attempt by the opposition to indulge in the politics of appeasement and going after a particular vote bank. The controversy snowballed with the Prime Minister hitting out at his father Lalu Yadav and Congress leader Rahul Gandhi for cooking mutton in September last year and said that the INDIA bloc is not bothered about the feelings of most of the country's population. Tejashwi Yadav, who had clarified that the video was shot a day before Navratri began and was uploaded by him to "test the IQ of the BJP", said the BJP's politics is limited to what people are eating and wearing because its governments have not done anything for the people.
