Bihar BJP spokesperson Manoj Sharma said the comment reflected the RJD\u2019s attitude towards the Hindu faith. \u201cSuch statements stem from his politics of appeasement. RJD leaders have repeatedly disrespected the religious sentiments of Hindus, and Lalu Prasad\u2019s recent remark on the Maha Kumbh once again exposes the party\u2019s mindset towards Hinduism,&#8221; Sharma said.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atawrap\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atadetailwrp\">\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd ataname\"><span class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atthumb\"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Anushka Vats\" title=\"Anushka Vats\" src=\"https:\/\/images.news18.com\/ibnlive\/uploads\/2025\/08\/WhatsApp-Image-2025-08-08-at-10.04.29-2025-08-8b1beaef2df02b67e17bd1c791831ae5.jpeg?impolicy=website&amp;width=60&amp;height=60\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd\"\/><\/figure>\n<p><\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd attitle\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/byline\/anushka-vats-28231.html\" class=\"jsx-95088aad1b3c53cd atamail\">Anushka Vats<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Anushka Vats is a Sub-Editor at News18.com with a passion for storytelling and a curiosity that extends beyond the newsroom.
