Prime Minister Narendra Modi did not shy away from praising Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Tejaswi Prasad when he met the latter at an official function in the state on March 12. Tejaswi Prasad, son of former Union railway minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad, has been vocal in his criticism of the Prime Minister.
On Friday, at a public gathering he had alleged that Modi had not fulfilled any of the promises he had made while campaigning for the Lok Sabha elections in 2014. The deputy chief minister was present when Modi, accompanied by Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, arrived at Vaishali over the weekend.
He later told journalists what Modi told him: "Aap kaaphi young hain aur kaaphi accha kaam kar rahe hain. Issi tarah lage rahiye. (You are young and you are doing quite well. Keep it up.)" Asked how he would feel about attacking Modi after that interaction, he said: "It was a government function today, not a political rally."
