BJP Criticizes Lalu Yadav Over Halloween Celebration and Kumbh Remarks
A politician named Lalu Prasad Yadav, who is part of a party called RJD, celebrated Halloween, a holiday from Western countries where people dress up, with his grandchildren.
His family shared pictures of this celebration.
The BJP, another political party, got upset about this.
They remembered that Lalu Prasad Yadav had previously said that the Maha Kumbh, a very important religious gathering for Hindus, was 'meaningless'.
The BJP used these two things – the Halloween celebration and the alleged comment about the Kumbh – to criticize Lalu Prasad Yadav.
They said it shows he doesn't respect India's own religious traditions and instead celebrates foreign holidays.
This criticism is happening because elections are coming soon in the state of Bihar, and the BJP hopes this will make people not vote for Lalu Prasad Yadav's party.
