After the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi does not have a family, BJP leaders added 'Modi ka parivar' (Modi's family) in their bio on Monday (4 March).
In a Jan Vishwas Maha Rally of RJD and Congress held at Patna yesterday, Lalu Yadav said that Modi is attacking parivarvad (dynastic politics) as he neither has a family nor is a Hindu as he didn't shave his head on his mother's demise.
Responding to this, PM Modi said today at a rally in Telangana, "When I questioned their parivarvad, they (INDI Alliance leaders) started saying that Modi doesn't have a family. My family is 140 crore countrymen."
"I decided to live for countrymen. My every moment is for you. I don't have any personal aspirations, only your aspirations are my commitment. I will spend my life to make future of your children brighter," Modi added.
Also, many BJP leaders including national president JP Nadda, Union Ministers Amit Shah, Smriti Irani, Anurag Thakur, Nitin Gadkari and thousands of BJP workers added 'Modi ka parivar' to their bio.
