Hitting back at Rahul Gandhi for his remarks on ‘Chhath Puja’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Thursday that the people of Bihar would not forget this “insult” by Congress and RJD leaders.

“Congress and RJD leaders are insulting 'Chhathi Maiyya' to get votes in Bihar. Chhath Puja is a 'drama' for them. People of Bihar will not forget this insult for years,” he said, addressing a rally at Muzaffarpur in poll-bound Bihar.

"This is my first public rally after the Chhath Puja. Our government is trying to secure UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage status for the Chhath Mahaparva," said the prime minister.
