Misa Bharti takes U-turn from ‘will jail PM Modi’ remark: ‘I meant the corrupt…’

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MP on Friday took a U-turn from her ‘jail’ remark against Prime Minister . She clarified that her statement meant “the corrupt will go to jail". However, the RJD leader on April 11 stated that “PM Modi would be in jail" the NDA was voted out of power from the Center.

On Sunday, Misa Bharti said if the opposition INDIA bloc comes to power after the 2024 “from PM Modi to BJP leaders, they will be behind bars".

“We are talking about the implementation of MSP and he (PM Modi) sees appeasement in that. He always accuses our family of corruption whenever he arrives here (Bihar). If the people of this country give the INDIA Alliance a chance (to form the government), then…," she said. 

Her remarks sparked a political debate with the BJP leaders slamming the two-time Rajya Sabha MP. “Misa Bharti is making her father's () 'pratigya' laughable," the saffron party leaders said.
