People looking at Narendra Modi as a joke now, says Lalu Prasad

PATNA: Launching a counter-offensive against the scathing remarks by the PM on him, RJD president Lalu Prasad has accused Modi of lowering the standard of the PM’s post. "Narendra Modi has given a new low to the standards of a prime minister. People are looking at him as a joke now," Prasad said in a tweet. Prasad said in his tweet:

"The Prime Minister should ask his friend Amit Shah what else he has learnt in addition to falsehood, mis-campaign and dividing people from the jail."

"Those generating fear of ‘jungle raj-2’ are...themselves afraid of ‘Mandal raj-2’. This election will be Mandal raj-2 versus kamandal raj-2," the RJD chief said referring to the return of the 1990 electoral fight that was dominated by the Mandal Commission report issue versus Ayodhya episode. He should tell what he has done for Bihar, Prasad said and suggested the PM "to look forward instead of becoming a ghost of past".
