Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav took a veiled dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the poll bound state, sarcastically making a reference to weather forecast, saying there was a “heavy rain of lies" and a “hail of false promises" in the state today.

“Weather warning in the interest of Bihar- Today there is heavy rain of lies, false promises and illusions in Bihar, hailstones of false and tempting promises are also falling along with thunder, be careful," he said in a post on X.

The RJD patron also shared an AI-generated video highlighting the situation faced by the people after promises made by NDA government led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

The video showed an elderly man sitting in a rural area under an umbrella, conveying a message of the person seeking shelter from a ‘flood of promises’. The clip further showed a man holding an umbrella amid thunderstorms, signifying the vulnerability of people from a ‘hail of false promises’.

The video further showed Nitish Kumar and PM Modi dancing under a damaged bridge, signifying infrastructural breakdown and corruption under the NDA regime.

Additionally, Lalu Yadav’s son and Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav also hit out at PM Modi over his allegations on RJD and Congress, alleging that he was reading from a teleprompter.

“What he said was ghisa-pita (cliched), had no content and he read from teleprompter. Jumlon ka saaya hai, dekho phir wohi aaya hai. (There’s a shadow of lies and look, he has come back again)," he said.

Taking a dig at the NDA, which he called the ‘ Damad Alliance‘, he said that Nitish Kumar ignored the issues faced by the people and attended PM Modi’s rally in Siwan.

“The RJD has a clear vision and roadmap for the state. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar continues to ignore people’s issues while attending PM Modi’s rallies, something that comes easily to him. The NDA, which is the ‘ Damad Alliance,’ should take accountability and answer to the people of Bihar," he said.

PM Modi Attacks RJD, Congress

The RJD’s response came after PM Modi, while addressing a high-stakes rally in poll-bound Bihar on Friday, launched a scathing attack on RJD and Congress, and accused  them of allegedly insulting Babasaheb Bhim Rao Ambedkar and betraying the aspirations of Dalits and backward classes.

His remarks come amid a growing controversy over a viral video that purportedly shows RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav placing an image of Ambedkar near a chair, before resting his leg on it.

Without naming Lalu directly, Modi invoked the incident to question the Opposition’s commitment to social justice. “Leaders of RJD and Congress keep photographs of the architect of the Country’s Constitution near their feet. I keep his photograph close to my heart," he said. He added, “RJD will never apologise for what happened as they have no respect for Dalits and backwards."
