Slamming the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for their 'continuous' efforts to 'communalise' the nation, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav on Saturday continued his tirade against Prime Minister Narendra Modi saying that it was the first time the nation had seen such an 'insensitive' leader.

"He is the king of scams as he has pulled a number of them across the nation. Even now he is using the money he procured from various scam for the Bihar elections. Let me assure you that Narendra Modi's farewell from this nation is set and no one can save him. It's the first time the nation has had such an insensitive and senseless Prime Minister," Lalu told the media here.

Training his guns on BJP president Amit Shah, the RJD chief said that the people of Bihar have now become deaf to his 'continuous efforts to communalise'.

"Amit Shah equated entire Bihar with Pakistan by saying that the latter will celebrate if the Mahagathbandhan wins. He continues to say such dirty statements and keep on making attempts to communalise. But he should know that people have now become deaf to his efforts and the designs have failed," Lalu said.

He further asserted that by escalating the 'beef row' out of proportion there is much pent up anger in Bihar against the BJP and their leaders who have been making insensitive comments about the Dadri lynching and the recent Dalit killings.

Prime Minister Modi had yesterday attacked the grand alliance over corruption issue in Lalu's home-turf in Bihar, listing over 30 alleged scams including fodder scam under RJD and JD (U) during last 25 years.

However, Lalu replied by saying that he intends to reveal all of the Prime Minister's scams after the ongoing Bihar elections.
