Prime Minister (PM) Narendra Modi on Thursday alleged that Congress and RJD leaders were insulting 'Chhathi Maiyya' to get votes in the Bihar Elections, and the people of the state will not forgive them for centuries. His statement came a day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi alleged that the PM had tried to enact a "drama" by planning to take a dip in the Yamuna at Delhi on the occasion of Chhath Puja, but it was shelved after it was exposed that a puddle had been formed with clean, piped water since the river is so filthy (PICS and TEXT/PTI)
