Rashtriya Janata Dal, allies slam journalist for tweet on Rabri Devi

Patna: Leaders of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and its allies in Bihar on Friday slammed a derogatory tweet about RJD chief Lalu Prasad’s wife and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi by a senior journalist of a Hindi TV news channel. With the Lok Sabha polls underway, Rabri Devi has been attacking and targeting her political rivals, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, through her Twitter handle.

Nishant Chaturvedi, who is the editor of a Hindi TV news channel, retweeted a small piece that questioned Rabri Devi’s academic skills and mocked at her ability to use Twitter. “So, Rabri Deviji also tweets. Can anyone tell her to just spell out the word Twitter thrice,” he tweeted on a post by Rabri Devi that mocked PM Modi. Replying to Chaturvedi’s post, Rabri Devi wrote: “Son, I have seen a lot of journalists like you. I was democratically elected the Chief Minister of India’s second-largest state for eight years. Why are you pained if I question Modi? Are you okay?” (IANS)
