After Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi attended the 'tilak' ceremony of Samajwadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's grand nephew and Rashtriya Janata Dal supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter on Saturday, 21 February in Saifai, Uttar Pradesh, many netizens have criticised the PM for attending so many private functions.

Modi arrived at Mulayam's village Saifai along with UP Governor Ram Naik at 10.45 am and spent almost 45 minutes at the venue. Despite their earlier issues, the trio, Mulayam, Lalu and Modi were seen posing happily for photos.
