00:10Prime Minister takes on Lalu Prasad Yadav, says RJD insulted Ambedkar.
00:17RJD and Congress don't respect Dalits and OBCs.
00:20This is a statement from the Prime Minister as Lalu's feet near an Ambedkar photo triggers Rao.
01:00And the Prime Minister says that the people are the people are the people.
01:07We say that the people are the people.
01:12They say that the people are the people.

01:59I was looking for a picture that I was looking for a poster that I would like to say that I would like to
02:11but I know that these people will not have to say that because in the mind of the people
02:19of the
02:34of the
02:40And clearly, Prime Minister tearing into the R.J.D. and Lalu Prasad Yadav.
03:05That video and the image of Lalu Prasad Yadav being presented with an image of Baba Sahab Mbedkar.
03:11And the image being kept on a table near his feet has gone viral.
03:17It has called for a lot of criticism of the R.J.D. by the opposition parties.
03:27Even the Prime Minister calling for criticism of Lalu Prasad Yadav saying that he and his party as well as the Congress
03:36do not respect Baba Sahab Mbedkar and are acting against the interests of Dalits and Mahadalits.
03:42Remember with the Bihar election on the annual Bihar election will be later this year.
03:49And politics is getting hotter in Bihar.
03:53The political campaigning of course.
03:55You can see the Prime Minister speaking in Siwan in Bihar raising the issue against Lalu Prasad Yadav.
04:04Rohit Singh is live with me on this story.
04:07Rohit, Prime Minister Modi taking this as a pole plank,
04:12taking this opportunity to attack the R.J.D. as well as the Congress.
04:17But that video, that photo has also been criticized extensively in Bihar.
04:23What is happening on the ground?
04:27Well, see, it's a huge, huge issue to which the BJP has latched on to
04:33of Lalu Prasad allegedly insulting Baba Sahab Bhim Rao Mbedkar and the pictures of his on his birthday.
04:40And for the last one week, we are seeing that the BJP has upped the ante on Lalu,
04:45demanding apology from him.
04:47And posters are also across Patna and several parts of Bihar have come up demanding apology from Lalu.
04:52But Ajis Svi Adav has made it very clear that Lalu Prasad has not insulted Ambedkar in any sense
04:59and that there was no question of Lalu apologizing.
05:03But very much on expected lines, Anisha,
05:06we were expecting that the Prime Minister would be making a reference to that entire controversy
05:11and that he did also when he raised the issue of how Lalu Prasad insulted Ambedkar,
05:18though he did not take Lalu's name directly,
05:20but called that R.J.D.
05:21And now, raising this issue,
05:26the Prime Minister made it very clear
05:29and tried to build a narrative that R.J.D. was anti-Dalit,
05:33R.J.D. was anti-OBC and R.J.D. was anti-EBC.
05:37This is the narrative that the Prime Minister tried to build
05:40and this he was doing in order to ensure that the BJP reaches out to the Dalit voters in the state
05:47so that they could benefit in the upcoming Assembly election.
05:51So, very much on expected lines, as I was saying,
05:53that this issue was raised by Prime Minister Modi during his speech in Sivan
05:57and he hit out at Lalu Prasad for insulting Ambedkar,
06:02who is considered as a god among the Dalit community.
06:05Back to you, Anisha.
06:06Back to you, Anisha.
