<p>A day after he was heavily trolled for celebrating his birthday on a chartered plane, RJD leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav on Tuesday hit back at his detractors, claiming that some people were unable to put up with the fact that a milkman was having tea in a jet.</p>.<p>The RJD heir apparent, who turned 30, posted on social media photos of him cutting a cake and drinking tea on board a plane, drawing flak from many who questioned the lavish celebrations, given the poor state of the economy.</p>.<p>"Some are wondering how a milkman can have tea on a plane. This is an allegation being levelled on me. I get disturbed after seeing some people worrying about me. Unfortunately, their masters (murshid - the one who shows the right path) are not happy with them," he tweeted in Hindi.</p>.<p>People from the Yadav community, by tradition, engage in rearing cows and selling milk.</p>.<p>"I eat a guava, corn, bhunja, chat (snacks) on roads and kebab on a plane. However, it seems, someone else is having a stomach ache," the RJD leader, who was a student of Delhi Public School in the national capital, added.</p>.<p>Lashing out at Yadav, BJP spokesman Nikhil Anand said the RJD leader should stop playing victim card by calling himself a milkman.</p>.<p>"Even BP Mandal, Daroga Rai, Nityanand Rai are cow herders and milkmen. Please don't play victim card by calling yourself a milkman. Those belonging to Charwaha community never cry for themselves. Don't issue sentimental dialogues," he insisted.</p>.<p>The saffron party leader, on a lighter note, asked Yadav, who was once a part of Delhi Daredevils team in the Indian Premier League, not to take criticisms to heart.</p>.<p>"No one is levelling any allegation against you or ridiculing you. Be it in the air or on Twitter, it's your choice Don't take it to heart. Be happy," Anand added.</p>.<p>The BJP spokesperson had on Monday said that Yadav was "born with a silver spoon in his mouth" and the Lalu Prasad- led RJD lacks the culture of grooming its leaders.</p>.<p>"Tejashwi is enjoying all sorts of luxuries as a politician. He celebrates a birthday on a chartered flight... Such leaders sully the name of their parties," Anand had said.</p>.<p>Terming the incident as a "black mark" on Yadav's political career, JD(U) spokesperson Sanjay Singh sought to know who paid the bills for the celebrations.</p>.<p>"Your father is lodged in jail while you are shamelessly celebrating your birthday on a chartered plane. You should be ashamed of your act.</p>.<p>"Thank you Tejashwi jee for letting people know how poor the prince of social justice is... Your family has made a mockery of Bihar. I want to know who paid the bills for the celebrations," Singh had stated.</p>.<p>RJD spokesman Mrityunjay Tiwary, however, came out in defence of Yadav and said that "parties opposed to the RJD have become restless after the recent bypoll debacle".</p>.<p>"Can't we celebrate birthdays now? Tejashwi jee is the son of a poor man. He is the son of Lalu Prasad jee who has fought for the rights of poor people," Tiwary added.</p>.<p>The RJD won two assembly seats, previously held by the ruling JD(U), in the recently concluded bypolls, after drawing a blank in the general election earlier this year.</p>
