‘Should the language of PM be like this?’: Tejashwi Yadav writes to Modi over his ‘Mujra’ remark on INDIA bloc

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav criticises PM Modi's 'Mujra' remark, questions his language during the ongoing Lok Sabha polls

After Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'Mujra' remark on the INDIA bloc, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Sunday wrote a letter to the PM, saying that the former has said many baseless, factless and false things to the people during the ongoing Lok Sabha polls.

Further coming down heavily on PM, Mr. Yadav, in his letter said, "Should the language of the Prime Minister of this big-hearted country be like this?."

"Today you came to Bihar and after coming here, you said as many baseless, factless and false things as you could. Now it is not expected from you that you will keep the discussion high while keeping in mind the dignity of your post. But today you have come to the terminology of "Mujra" and "Mangalsutra". Frankly speaking, we are worried about you. Should the language of the Prime Minister of this big-hearted country be like this? You think and decide," wrote Mr. Yadav to Mr. Modi.

The development comes after PM Modi at a rally in Bihar on Saturday said that he is giving the guarantee to Bihar, SC, ST, and OBC communities that till Mr. Modi is alive, he will not let them snatch away their rights."

“For Modi, Constitution is supreme, for Modi, Babasaheb Ambedkar’s sentiments are supreme... if the INDI alliance wants to accept the servitude of their vote bank, they are free to do so...if they want to perform ‘Mujra’ (dance), they are free to do... I will still stand with the SC, ST, and OBC reservation staunchly,” the Prime Minister said.

Further, Mr. Yadav said that the Prime Minister has a backward and anti-Dalit mentality.

"When we came to government in Bihar, we conducted a caste survey at the State's expense. You were also made aware of its reality. Prime Minister, in the light of that survey, we increased the scope of the reservation to 75 per cent and kept requesting you again and again and with folded hands demanded that you include it in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution. But Prime Minister, basically you have a backward and anti-Dalit mentality. You did not give any consideration to this important request of ours," he said.
