In reply to a question regarding irrigation facilities in Bundelkhand, Jal Shakti Minister Mahendra Singh called Lallu a 'Tathakathit adyaksh' (so-called president) when the latter said that the Bundelkhand area was witnessing maximum number of suicides by farmers.
"Bundelkhand witnessed maximum number of suicides. Even yesterday, two farmers committed suicide," Lallu said while asking about irrigation facilities in the region.
