Bihar will never forgive insult to 'Chhathi Maiyya', says PM
The Morning Standard
|October 31, 2025
A day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi launched an all-out attack on Prime Ninister Narendra Modi, the latter lit into him and the Opposition's chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav, in two back-to-back rallies in Bihar's Chapra and Motipur on Thursday. Lampooning them as princes who want to bring back 'jungle raj' in Bihar, he alleged that their parties have always been mired in corruption and scams.
Responding to a Rahul barb on the PM's participation in the 'Chhath puja', Modi said it was an insult to 'Chhathi Maiyya' and her devotees. "For some, the worship of 'Chhathi Maiyya' was mere drama," he said, adding that no person from Bihar could forget this insult.
