Exclusive: Mutton in Sawan? Lalan Singh’s Feast Puts BJP in a Festive Dilemma Before Bihar Polls

In a twist of political irony, Union Minister and JDU leader Lalan Singh has stirred controversy by organizing a mutton feast during Sawan, a holy month for Hindus. The event, held in Lakhisarai’s Suryagarha, saw mutton served openly to attendees, despite BJP’s past criticism of similar actions by opposition leaders.The move has left BJP in an awkward spot. The party had earlier condemned RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav for eating fish during Navratri and Lalu Prasad Yadav’s family for organizing meat parties during Hindu festivals. Now, with their own ally holding a “mutton party” in Sawan, the narrative has flipped. Social media exploded after a video of the feast went viral, and Lalu’s daughter Rohini Acharya responded swiftly with a poetic attack online.Opposition parties wasted no time in reigniting the “hurt Hindu sentiments” angle — the same narrative BJP often rides on. The irony wasn’t lost: could the BJP now defend Lalan’s meat menu as “satvik” if it was seasoned with rock salt?In Bihar’s high-stakes political arena, where sentiment often sways votes more than manifestos, Lalan Singh may have just added a spicy new layer to the upcoming elections — one plate of mutton at a time.
