Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Yadav has taken a swipe at Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar over PM Modi's comments in the Rajya Sabha that dynastic parties are the biggest threat to democracy. परिवारवाद को लेके प्रधानमंत्री @narendramodi के बयान पर अब @laluprasadrjd ने जवाब दिया हैं @ndtvindia @Anurag_Dwary @Suparna_Singh pic.twitter.com/Qd6na0mFcz
Lalu Yadav has nine children. His son, Tejashwi Yadav, was Bihar Deputy Chief Minister in 2015 when the Rashtriya Janata Dal, or RJD, and Mr Kumar's Janata Dal (United) were in a short-lived alliance. Tejashwi Yadav is seen to be in line to head the RJD after Lalu Prasad, although his father hasn't confirmed it publicly.
"Modi never had any children. Nitish has a son who is averse to politics. One can only pray that they are blessed with children who can carry forward their political legacy," said the RJD chief, who is out on bail in the Bihar fodder scam, in which he was convicted of swindling government funds meant for cattle fodder.
On a question whether the BJP feels threatened by Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav's possible rise, Lalu Yadav said, "You think so?"
