Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) supremo Lalu Yadav's son Tejaswi, who is contesting the Bihar elections this year, lashed out at Prime Minister Narendra Modi's 'cheap' language on Monday, saying that he was encouraging the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leaders to do the same and resort to equally foul language.

'The Prime Minister who is so matured in age and stature has been continuously saying things that are hurting his image. He has been targeting my family through tweets and rally addresses, even my mother and sister have not been spared in his tirade,' Tejaswi told the reporters here.
