PATNA: In a controversial statement Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad's daughter Misa Bharti said that she wanted to chop off Union Minister Ram Kripal Yadav's hands with Sushil Kumar Modi.

While addressing a gathering in Patna's Bikram area on January 16  Bharti Yadav said that she had huge respect for Ram Kripal but now she wanted to cut his hand for joining BJP. She said  "He used to cut the chaff. We had huge respect for him. However, we stopped respecting him when he went on to join hands. At that time I felt like cutting his hands from the same chaff cutting machine,”

Bharti used to call Ram Kripal 'chacha' (uncle), but had a fallout over contesting in Patliputra Lok Sabha constituency.

 ex-RJD member, Ram Kripal, was a close aide of Lalu Prasad. After being denied a ticket from Patliputra, he quit the party and joined BJP in 2014. He went on to contest and win the Patliputra seat in Lok Sabha election 2014, defeating Bharti.  Kripal had endorsed PM Narendra Modi as the man India is looking up to.
