Sushil Modi on Lalu and his sons: Like father, like son
Speaking Exclusively to India Today, Modi said that Lalu's comments exhorting people to feel fortunate that Ganga had come to their doorsteps in form of flood was insult to the flood victims.
In Short
- Lalu and his sons failed to help Bihar flood victims: Sushil
- 'Lalu himself makes light of serious things, what can be said about his sons'
- Nitish and Lalu are fighting to take credit for helping flood victims: Sushil
Former Bihar deputy chief minister and BJP leader Sushil Modi has slammed RJD President Lalu Prasad and his minister sons Tej Pratap and Tejaswi for failing to provide adequate relief material to the flood victims in Patna and rest of the affected parts of the state.
LALU'S 'GANGA AT DOORSTEP STATEMENT
Speaking Exclusively to India Today, Modi said that Lalu's comments exhorting people to feel fortunate that Ganga had come to their doorsteps in form of flood was insult to the flood victims.
"Lalu has through such shallow comments not only insulted flood victims but also destroyed Bihar during his 15 years tenure", said the BJP leader.
TEJASWI YADAV EXTENDS HIS FOREIGN TOUR
Modi also criticised Lalu's deputy CM son Tejaswi Yadav for extending his foreign tour despite people from his constituency Raghopur suffering in the floods. Raghopur is one of the worst affected areas in the floods in Vaishali district.
"Tejaswi should have cut short his foreign visit and come back to Raghopur. He had gone to Europe to study how how to build better road, was that necessary ? Tejaswi is not bothered about his constituency. Instead of the Tejaswi, his father was visiting flood affected areas in Raghopur and making mockery of people's distress", said Modi.
The Bihar BJP leader also took a jibe at Lalu's Health Minister son Tej Pratap for not visiting flood affected areas in his constituency Mahua and instead enjoyed a cultural event that was organized in Mahua on the day of Janmashtmi.
"It's useless to comment on Tej Pratap. He does not have basic understanding of difference between flood and cultural program. For him, there is no difference between flood and cultural events".
LALU IS NOT SERIOUS: SUSHIL MODI
Modi said when Lalu himself makes light of serious things, what can be said about his sons.
Modi said the manner in which both Bihar CM Nitish Kumar and Lalu were visting flood affected areas and relief camps indicated that there was a race going on between the two leaders to take credit for providing relief to affected people hit by floods.
"There is a fight going on to take credit for providing relief to flood victims between Nitish and Lalu but the fact remains that there is complete mismanagement at the relief camps and people are suffering", said Modi.
