BJP delegation meets EC over ‘communal statements’ by Mahagathbandhan

He appealed to people to reject those who are hungry of power and promote jungle raj.

According to Mr Modi, the ongoing elections were crucial for the Nitish Kumar-led grand secular alliance as it would test the might and strength of Mr Kumar and RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Those who had raised eyebrows when the Bihar Chief Minister reached out to the Rashtriya Janata Dal for an alliance, questioning the wisdom of joining hands with a party that was anathema to the forward castes, can now see the political wisdom that had prompted the move. Will Lalu-Nitish voters still fall for Grand Alliance or repose trust in Modi’s brand of politics?

Modi also took a jibe at Nitish after a video of him meeting a tantrik had surfaced.

Lalu Prasad’s prestige was at stake on Wednesday as his sons Tej Pratap Yadav and Tejaswi Yadav were in the fray.

Modi claimed that the second Green Revolution will come from Bihar. PM Modi also said that Congress party and its allies are obstructing reservation of women and Smt.

Motihari: In a new twist to election campaigning in Bihar, BJP national president Amit Shah has said there would be celebrations in Pakistan if NDA is trounced in the assembly election. PM talked about confiscating properties of corrupt people and using it to make schools.

Under attack over alleged attempts at tinkering with quotas, Modi today again hit back, accusing Bihar’s grand alliance of conspiring to give away five per cent share in reservations for SCs, STs and OBCs to “a particular community” through the “back door”.

The Prime Minister demanded that Lalu and Nitish give an account of what they have done in the state in the last 25 years.

“They say Bihari versus Bahari (outsider)”. The Nitish Kumar factor weighs heavily with this constituency as well, more so as Lalu Yadav had failed to meet numerous promises he had made.

“This has vitiated the electoral process by promoting communal tension”, said a memorandum submitted to Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Nasim Zaidi by Congress leaders Randeep Surjewala and Ajoy Kumar and JD-U’s K C Tyagi.

“After the first two phases, “Mahaswarthbandhan” has lost faith in people so they have turned to Mantra-Tantra”.

Speaking on the issue of development, he said Bihar has vast scope for farming but the state lacks water “and if farmers get adequate water and electricity supply this land will reap gold”.
