Tejashwi Yadav's 'mutton party' dig at PM Modi as he visits Bihar, accuses BJP of double standards
Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Friday launched a sharp attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his visit to Bihar, accusing the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) of indulging in "double standards" over the controversy surrounding non-vegetarian feasts during the Hindu holy month of Sawan.
In a post on social media platform X, Yadav mockingly outlined what he claimed to be the Prime Minister’s itinerary, alleging he would begin by "honouring leaders who hold mutton parties during Sawan” and will “publicly showcase the hypocrisy of his sermons.”
"He will blame uncontrolled crime in Bihar on governments from five decades ago. He will unleash such a heavy downpour of 'jumlas' (rhetoric) that even Lord Indra will be embarrassed," Tejashwi Yadav wrote in Hindi.
Continuing his criticism, the Leader of Opposition in the Bihar Assembly said the Prime Minister would refrain from clarifying whether Chief Minister Nitish Kumar would remain the National Democratic Alliance’s face post-election.
“He will excessively use words like Jungle Raj, Opposition, Lalu Prasad, RJD, Muslims, etc," the former Bihar Deputy Chief Minister added.
Yadav also shared a cartoon image depicting PM Modi with a note that read: "Bihar bado bado ko deta hai sudhar, dekho! Ye dikhane lage hain pyaar. Fir aa rahe hain Bihar." (Bihar teaches the mighty a lesson. See! Now he is pretending to show love. He is coming back to Bihar again.)
Assembly elections in Bihar are most likely to be held later this year.
प्रधानमंत्री श्री नरेंद्र मोदी जी आज बिहार आकर निम्न काम करेंगे।

1. सर्वप्रथम प्रधानमंत्री जी आज सावन में मटन पार्टी करने वाले नेताओं को मोतिहारी में मंच पर सम्मानित कर अपने आप को गौरवान्वित महसूस करेंगे तथा अपने प्रवचनों के दोहरेपन का सावर्जनिक परिचय देंगे।

Students of the Bachelor of Occupational Therapy (BOT) programme participated in conducting the campaign.

These activities focused on highlighting early signs of autism, the need for early intervention, and the importance of inclusion and acceptance of individuals with autism.
The campaign reached around 300 to 500 members of the public. It also provided students with practical exposure to community-based rehabilitation and public health education.
As part of the initiative, QR-based digital resources were introduced to help the public access reliable information on autism.
“Awareness is the first step towards inclusion, and early intervention can significantly improve outcomes,” the organising team said.
The department thanked the university for its support in organising the campaign. It also acknowledged the cooperation of the management of Fiza Mall and the Ullal Beach Police Department in facilitating the event.
