Adding ‘Modi ka parivaar’ to his bio on X, BJP leader Majinder Singh Sirsa in a social media post on X, wrote: “I.N.D.I Alliance members can’t insult PM Narendra Modi Ji’s family. 140 crore Indians are his family. We are all Modi Ka Parivar”.
Reacting to Lalu Prasad Yadav’s statement, in an address in Telangana’s Adilabad, PM Modi said, “The leaders of the I.N.D.I Alliance, deeply engrossed in corruption, nepotism and appeasement, are becoming nervous. When I question their ‘Parivarvad’, they have started saying that Modi has no family,” the Prime Minister said”.

“My life is an open book, 140 crore people of the country are my family. Today, crores of daughters, mothers and sisters of the country are Modi’s family. Every poor person in the country is my family. Those who have no one, they also belong to Modi and Modi belongs to them. They say ‘Nene Modi Kutumbam’ (I’m Modi family),” he said.
Lambasting Lalu Prasad Yadav over his personal comments on PM Modi, BJP leader Shehzad Poonawalla said, Lalu Yadav, hear this out.

JDU leader Neeraj Kumar also criticised Lalu for his comments. “Such kind of language does not suit you (Lalu Yadav). You are in the last phase of your life. Such kind of personal remarks against the Prime Minister and Chief Minister show that you lack the capabilities to speak a cultured language.”
Lalu Prasad Yadav, while addressing the party’s ‘Jan Vishwas Maha Rally’ in Patna on March 3, said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi just spreads hatred in the name of religion.
“These days he is talking about dynastic politics. You (PM Modi) don’t have a family. You are not even a Hindu. When your mother died, every Hindu, as per tradition, shaves his beard and head. Why did you not shave? You only spread hatred in society,” RJD Chief Lalu Yadav said.
