Political temperature hit the roof in poll-bound Bihar on Sunday when Prime Minister Narendra Modi led the NDA campaign, assisted by Union Home Minister Amit Shah, while Congress leader Rahul Gandhi canvassed for the opposition INDIA bloc.
The PM alleged that RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was named Chief Ministerial candidate only after his party pointed a “katta”, a country made, unlicensed handgun, “at the head of the Congress”, which had been reluctant to project the young leader as the INDIA bloc’s face.
Mr. Gandhi, the Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha, addressed rallies in Begusarai and Khagaria districts, where he launched a stinging attack on the PM, whom he lampooned for “claiming to have a chest that was 56 inches wide”. – PTI
