RJD's Khesari Lal Yadav Clarifies 'Mandir-Hospital' Remark, Emphasizes Education
A famous singer and actor named Khesari Lal Yadav, who is running for a political position in Bihar, made some comments that upset people.
He said that building temples is fine, but he doesn't think studying about temples or visiting them helps people get jobs or go to college.
He believes that education and having jobs are more important for people's lives and for the country to grow.
Some politicians from another party got angry and called him names, saying he was disrespecting their religion.
Khesari Lal Yadav later explained that he wasn't saying temples are bad, but that for people to live good lives, they need schools and jobs.
He thinks leaders should focus on building colleges and creating job opportunities for everyone.
He wants people to vote for leaders who will help the community by improving education and finding work for them.
RJD candidate Khesari Lal Yadav clarified his 'Mandir-Hospital' remark, emphasizing education and employment over temples.
Yadav stated that studying in or visiting a temple does not lead to becoming a professor or government employee.
He questioned the relevance of the Ram Mandir issue to voters' daily needs like development, education, and jobs.
BJP leader Dinesh Lal Yadav (Nirahua) criticized Khesari Lal Yadav, calling him 'Yadumullah' and accusing him of insulting Hindu faith.
