Trouble mounted for Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad for his controversial beef comment that "Hindus <g data-gr-id="14">too</g> eat beef" with a district court in Muzaffarpur on Wednesday ordering police to register an FIR against him for it.
Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah questioned Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and Congress vice president Rahul Gandhi's "silence" on it.
"Why are Nitish Kumar and Rahul Gandhi silent on Lalu Prasad's comment that there is no difference between beef and goat meat ... Silence will not do. They have to make public whether they agree with Prasad's view or not," Shah said addressing an election meeting in Lakhisarai district.
In Patna, senior BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi alleged it was not out of respect for <g data-gr-id="16">cow</g> that the RJD leader was rearing cattle, but to conceal the black money be made from the fodder scam.
