PM Modi Unfurls National Flag at Red Fort for the Last Time, says Lalu Yadav

Rashtriya Janata Dal president Lalu Yadav on Tuesday asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi got to unfurl the tricolour at the Red Fort in Delhi for the last time.

Independence Day Celebrations

Mr Yadav was talking to reporters after celebrating Independence Day at the residence of his wife Rabri Devi in Patna. The celebration saw the two former Bihar chief ministers unfurling the national flag.

Tribute to Great Men

\”I extend my greetings to the people of the country on the occasion and pay my tributes to great men like Mahatma Gandhi, Subhash Chandra Bose, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad and Babasaheb Bhimrao Ambedkar whose contributions the nation can never forget,\” Mr Yadav told reporters.

PM Modi’s Last Time

The ailing septuagenarian, who has been steadfast in his opposition to the BJP in his political career spanning over several decades, was asked by some journalists in a lighter vein whether PM Modi would be able to unfurl the tricolour from the Red Fort next year. \”No, no\” was the curt reply of the RJD chief.

Next Year’s Scenario

Pressed further, Lalu Yadav said, \”This is his last time\”. When asked about the scenario next year, the politician remarked, \”Next time, it will be our turn\”.
