Modi under EC scanner for likening Lalu to 'shaitan'

October 08, 2015 19:12

Just in: A complaint has been filed against Prime Minister Narendra Modi for likening RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav to a 'shaitaan' (devil), reports India Today.

The Election Commission will review the PM's speech in Bihar.

Wading into the beef controversy, Modi today attacked Lalu over his 'Hindus also eat beef' remark, saying he had insulted the people of Bihar and his own community, the Yaduvanshis, who brought him to power.

Addressing a poll rally in Munger, Modi, who has been silent on the lynching of an Indian in Dadri, Uttar Pradesh, despite widespread outrage and the debate over the beef ban, latched onto Lalu's remarks on beef and said a 'shaitan (devil) has entered a human body.'
