BJP on Monday urged the Election Commission not to ban live telecast of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s election rallies in Bihar as demanded by the rival grand alliance. “But we see that of their campaign they don’t handle the voters or problems with constituencies going for ballot on that exact day”, an EC official stated.
Modi said,”Such leaders have committed the sin of reducing Bihar’s honour to dust”.
Thanking the large crowds which had gathered to attend his rally despite the humid weather on Monday, the PM said: “I will return your love and affection with interest by developing your state…”
“Where will you go if this money game goes on. Beef (meat of cow, oxen and calf) export is banned in India”, the tweet said. “That will benefit everyone socially and economically”. The BJP buckled and, changing tack, announced that former IPS officer Kiran Bedi would be the party’s chief ministerial candidate. Two more have been caught committing the sin, but their leader does not feel bad about it. He does not feel bad about this sin or “jungle raj” or corruption.
Political circles in Bihar are abuzz with two more possible exposes in the pipeline, both involving RJD leaders.
On the other hand, incumbent Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav are leading the campaign for the Grand Alliance, and are occasionally supported by Congress president Sonia Gandhi and vice-president Rahul Gandhi.
“A BJP government in Bihar will help us work seamlessly to create jobs for the youth, look after our farmers and ensure overall development, which is the antidote to every single problem”, Modi said last week, touting his “pro-development” reputation and promising jobs in the impoverished state.
“For the sake of power, he compromised with Lalu against whose “jungle raj” he (Nitish) fought for several years”. Though the party did not get simple majority in remaining three states, the model was successful in helping it become part of alliance governments there.
