The Cow-As-Fodder Scam

Those who know the mild-mannered and soft-spoken Sushilkumar Modi squirmed at this tweet which came out of the BJP leader’s account: Gai ka chaara khane wale ab gai ko hi khane par tule hain (those who ate up fodder for the cow are now bent on eating the cow itself). “This is not the Sushilkumar I know,” declared one of them, adding that he must have been forced to tweet it. 

The tweet with a cow in the background and Modi in the foreground was a barb aimed at RJD leader Laloo Prasad Yadav, who had allegedly defended beef-eating by asserting that even Hindus ate beef. It triggered a war of bellicose words, with Laloo tweeting back that he had reared cows all his life, had 100-150 of them and that people who reared dogs sho­uld not talk about cows. more
