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)
