Patna, Nov 29 (IANS) RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav on Wednesday charged PM Narendra Modi with copying the Bihar government on providing jobs to people in the government sector.

On the successful rescue of 41 labouers in Silkayara tunnel in Uttarakhand where a section of people is giving credit to Modi, Lalu Prasad said: "The labouers were rescued after 17 days and many technical teams from across the world came for the rescue operation.
