'Modi Ka Parivar': Union Home Minister Amit Shah, BJP president JP Nadda and other party leaders have changed their names on the X platform to ‘Modi ka Parivar (Modi’s family)' in solidarity with Prime Minister Narendra Modi after RJD chief Lalu Yadav's 'Parivarvaad' jibe.
Several BJP leaders have added 'Modi ka Parivar' in their social media profile names.
The move has come just after the speech of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in Telangana where he said that 140 crore people of the country are his family in a veiled attack on RJD chief and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav who attacked the prime minister over his family at 'Jan Vishwas Rally' in Patna.
PM Modi responds to Lalu's 'PM has no family remark'
Reacting to Lalu Prasad's statement, in an address in Telangana's Adilabad, PM Modi said, "The leaders of the INDI alliance, deeply engrossed in corruption, nepotism and appeasement, are becoming nervous. When I question their 'Parivarvad', they have started saying that Modi has no family," the Prime Minister said".
"My life is an open book, 140 crore people of the country are my family. Today, crores of daughters, mothers and sisters of the country are Modi's family. Every poor person in the country is my family. Those who have no one, they also belong to Modi and Modi belongs to them. They say 'Nene Modi Kutumbam' (I'm Modi family)," he said.

Here's what Lalu Yadav said about PM Modi
On Sunday, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Yadav at Jan Vishwas Maha Rally' in Patna said, "This Narendra Modi is attacking 'parivaarvaad' these days. First, you should tell why you do not have any children or family. For the people with more children, he (PM Modi) says that it is dynasty politics. You don't have a family...You are not even a Hindu. Every Hindu tonsures their head to mourn their mother's death. Answer why did not you get your hair and beard removed."
