NDTV
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's remark came after PM Modi's charge that the Congress, an ally of the RJD, has promised to snatch away belongings of common people, including 'mangalsutras' worn by women.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday slammed Prime Minister Narendra Modi over his 'mangalsutra' remark, claiming that most women were not able to afford gold because of soaring prices.
Talking to reporters here, the former Bihar deputy chief minister also reminded PM Modi of lives lost during the Covid-19 pandemic, because of hardships caused after demonetisation, in the Pulwama terror attack, and during clashes with Chinese troops at the border.
"The PM should tell us who is responsible for 'mangalsutras' being snatched (a metaphor for widowhood) from so many women during the outbreak of COVID, after demonetisation, in the Pulwama terror attack and skirmishes with Chinese troops along the border," said Mr Yadav.
