As per a report on The Times of India, Rai had Modi had done a lot for the development of the country, including demonetisation and GST. “If anyone raises eyebrows at PM Narendra Modi, break his hands and, if need be, even chop them,” he was quoted as saying.

Rai, an MP from Ujiarpur, was addressing a meeting organised by the Vanshi Chacha Samajik Vikas Parishad in Patna.

Key leaders from Bihar, including deputy chief minister Sushil Kumar Modi, Nand Kishore Yadav, Mangal Pandey and Suresh Sharma were also present at the meeting.

However, he later defended his statement, saying he didn’t mean break hands literally, but as a metaphor, as per a report on The Indian Express. “I used the expression of breaking fingers and chopping hands as proverbs to convey that we would strongly deal with those who rise against the country’s pride and security,” he was quoted as saying.

But this isn’t the first time Rai has been in hot water over his controversial remarks. Earlier this month, he had called Modi a “reincarnation of Swami Vivekananda”.
