New Delhi: In yet another display of beef politics in the country, newspapers carries an advertisement which shows a woman hugging a cow, attacking Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar just a day before Bihar goes to the polls in the fifth and final phase of the assembly elections.
The ad starts with ‘Chief Minister, while your allies were repeatedly insulting the holy cow, you kept quiet’. The BJP, which issued the ad, asks Nitish to ‘stop vote bank politics and explain whether you endorse these statements”.
The ad goes on to list the purported comments made by RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, RJD leader Raghuvansh Prasad Singh and Karnataka CM Siddaramaiah on the issue, with the word beef highlighted in red.
Just last week, Prime Minister Narendra Modi attacked Lalu Prasad over his “Hindus also eat beef remark”, saying the former Bihar CM had insulted the Yadav community. “What all did he eat? It (the remarks) insulted the Yaduvanshis… Laluji these Yaduvanshis helped you to come to power. What all Yadavs eat…is it not an insult of Yadavs and Bihar?” he said.
