Guess who forced the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) to drop the shorts! Rashtriya Janata Dal chief Lalu Prasad on Monday said his wife, the former chief minister of Bihar, Rabri Devi, was responsible for the change in the uniform of the RSS.
On Sunday, the RSS jettisoned its trademark khaki shorts for brown trousers, in an attempt to attract the youth. Prasad, however, did not waste a minute in reminding everyone how Rabri had, in January, said: "Aren't the RSS oldies ashamed to wear half pants in public?" Prasad also took a dig at the National Democratic Alliance government at the Centre saying he and his allies would do everything to bring it down to its "half pants" again.
