Patna (Bihar) [India], April 11 (ANI): BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad on Thursday slammed Lalu Prasad's daughter Misa Bharti for her remark on Prime Minister Narendra Modi and asked her to stop "daydreaming."
Former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter recently stirred controversy after she said that if the opposition-led INDIA Alliance comes to power, all BJP leaders, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, would be put behind bars.
"If you threaten the Prime Minister, action will be taken. Stop daydreaming, the results will be out on June 4th, and it will surpass 400," the BJP leader said.
Hitting out at the BJP-led central government, Bharti had said, "We are talking about the implementation of MSP and he (PM Modi) sees appeasement in that. He always accuses our family of corruption whenever he arrives here (Bihar). If the people of this country give the INDIA alliance a chance (to form the government), then from PM Modi to BJP leaders, they will be behind bars."
Ravi Shankar Prasad also warned her not to make such statements.
"What has happened to Misa Bharti? The woman's father (Lalu Yadav) has been convicted in the fodder scam. I warn her not to make such statements. Your family is immersed in corruption," he said.
Misa Bharti is contesting the 2024 Lok Sabha election from Pataliputra constituency against BJP candidate Ram Kripal Yadav, who defeated her in the last elections.
