The Prime Minister on Tuesday, campaigned for NDA candidate Jitan Ram Manjhi in Gaya, Bihar and attacked the Rashtriya Janata Dal and said that the "second name" for the opposition party in Bihar was corruption. He also blamed the RJD for the poor condition of the state.
"RJD has ruled Bihar for several years but they don't have the guts to discuss the work done by their government. The biggest face of jungle raj in Bihar is RJD. It is another name for corruption in Bihar. RJD is the biggest culprit for the destruction of Bihar. They have given only two things to the state: the first, jungle raj and the other, corruption," PM Modi said.
Bihar will witness polling for 40 Lok Sabha seats across all seven phases. In Phase 1, voting will be held in four seats. The state will witness polling on five seats each from Phase 2 to Phase 5. In Phases 6 and 7, elections will be held for 8 seats each.
