Storm in the name of cow

The NDA government hasn't taken lightly Lalu Prasad's weekend open letter to the Prime Minister, attacking him for the alleged violence in the country in the name of cow protection and his advice to Narendra Modi to direct his ministers to keep cows at their homes. Ram Vilas Paswan, Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution, said: "Lalu Prasad should know about the rules and regulations about people living in the Lutyens Bungalow Zone. No one is allowed to keep cows, goats or any other milk-giving animal." Giriraj Singh, Minister of State for Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises, attacked Prasad alleging caste politics. On his part, Sushil Modi tweeted that Prasad, before asking Union ministers to keep cows in their bungalows, should first direct Grand Alliance ministers to keep cows at their government bungalows.
