Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi on Friday lambasted RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, terming his State-wide "Nyay Yatra" as a flop and charging him with making "absurd statements to gain sympathy".
The senior BJP leader was responding to allegations by Yadav, the leader of the Opposition in the State Assembly, that the Nitish Kumar Government was getting his phones tapped and attempts had been made to lace his food with poisonous and narcotic substances.
"Who would dare to touch a person whose elder brother had the temerity to threaten that the Prime Minister would be skinned", Sushil remarked sarcastically in a tweet.
The Bihar Deputy CM was referring to the outbursts of Tej Pratap Yadav, Tejashwi's elder brother, who had said in November last year that Prime Minister Narendra Modi would be skinned if his father and RJD supremo lalu Prasad suffered any physical harm after downgrading of security cover. "It is a family which remained in power for 15 years, recalling which people of Bihar still shudder. Whom do people, who became MlAs and Ministers by virtue of the family's dynasty politics, fear for their lives", Sushil added.
