Siwan, Bihar | June 20, 2025 —
In a sharp political attack during his rally in Bihar’s Siwan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi today lashed out at the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) over a viral photo showing Lalu Prasad Yadav’s feet positioned close to a portrait of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar.
PM Modi accused the RJD of “disrespecting Dalit icons” and questioned their commitment to social justice.
“The man whose policies harmed Bihar for decades now sits with his feet near Babasaheb Ambedkar’s photo. This shows their mindset. They have no respect for Dalits,” PM Modi said to thunderous applause.
The viral photo had stirred controversy earlier this week and led to outrage on social media, particularly among Dalit groups and political observers.
The Prime Minister’s remarks come at a critical juncture, with state assembly elections approaching in a few months. Political analysts say BJP is trying to mobilize support among the Dalit and backward communities, using this incident as a key talking point.
Meanwhile, RJD leaders have dismissed the accusations, calling it an attempt to divert public attention from real issues like inflation and unemployment.
This verbal clash adds fuel to Bihar’s charged political environment, where caste politics and symbolism continue to play a central role in public discourse.
