Modi, in a series of tweets, took on Kumar alleging that the senior JD(U) leader has resorted to 'thethrology' (harping on unsubstantiated things to score brownie points) on black money issue by alluding to it as a poll promise when the BJP leaders had only spoken in terms of an estimated amount of ill-gotten wealth lying abroad.
He further attacked the two secular alliance stalwarts for blaming the Prime Minister for making 'shaitan' (devil) remark on Lalu Prasad and charging the BJP with fomenting communalism in Bihar on beef issue, saying it was the RJD leader who was caught on camera telling that a 'shaitan' in his mouth had made him say that the Hindus too eat beat.
On the reservation issue too, Modi said the RSS chief Mohan Bhagwat had only said that the existing policy be reviewed, but Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar twisted the remark to tell the voters that efforts were underway to scrap quota for the OBCs/dalits.
