The Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, has accused the Opposition of trying to tease and play with the emotions of the people by sharing videos of themselves eating non-vegetarian food during the holy month of Sawan. He compared this behavior to the mindset of the Mughals, who would attack Indian rulers not just to defeat them but also to destroy temples as a way to consolidate their rule. Responding to PM Modi's comments, Tejashwi Yadav stated that the public wants an account of the actions taken by the government to improve the state of Bihar, rather than irrelevant allegations.
In response to feedback from their large vegetarian customer base, food-delivery platform Zomato has rolled out a "Pure Veg Mode" for customers with a 100% vegetarian dietary preference. The newly-launched "Pure Veg Fleet" will wear green uniforms and use green delivery boxes, ensuring that only vegetarian meals are delivered. While the move has drawn mixed reactions online, Zomato CEO Deepinder Goyal has stated that it is a response to the particular preferences of Indian vegetarians.
