The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), a political party in India, has posted a tweet mocking the installation of the ‘Sengol’ in the new Parliament House by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The tweet featured a picture of late actor Amrish Puri as Shera Singh from the 1987 movie ‘Loha’. The caption asks if anyone can name the actor and the film he is holding a metal wand in. The RJD did not explain the comparison of the photograph with any other event. The BJP’s OBC wing national General Secretary, Nikhil Anand, responded with a written statement in which he asked the RJD not to use the late actor for cheap politics and that Sengol is not meant for ‘lathi’ or ‘mugdar’.
The Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is a political party in India, founded by Lalu Prasad Yadav in 1997. The party is committed to social justice, secularism, democracy, and federalism. It is one of the prominent regional parties of Bihar.
