Patna: RJD chief Lalu Prasad on Wednesday credited his wife and former Bihar Chief Minister Rabri Devi for the change in the RSS&rsquo;s dress code from khaki shorts to trousers.

&ldquo;We forced the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) members to wear trousers. Rabri Devi had pointed out their (RSS men&rsquo;s) lack of decency. Elderly cadres shamelessly roamed around freely in half-pants,&rdquo; said Lalu.
Lalu took the dig at the organisation a day after its members started wearing trousers, bidding adieu to the shorts &ndash; their traditional uniform. The RJD leader said it was his wife&rsquo;s January remark &ldquo;Aren&rsquo;t the RSS oldies ashamed to wear half-pants in public?&rdquo; that embarrassed the Hindu organisation. &ldquo;Rabri Devi&rsquo;s comment forced the change in RSS&rsquo; dress code,&rdquo; Lalu said. Lalu also tweeted that the RSS would similarly be forced to change its mindset.
&ldquo;Right now, we have forced them to wear trousers... but their thinking also needs a transformation... we will force them to shun weapons and would not allow them to spread venom.&rdquo; Rabri Devi had earlier faced criticism from several top leaders of the Bharatiya Janata Party, including union ministers, for her comments.
