Hitting back at Nitish Kumar's "eight to nine children for a male child jibe" at an election rally on Monday, Rashtriya Janata Dal's (RJD) Tejashwi Yadav reminded the Chief Minister that the insult was also against PM Narendra Modi, who has six siblings.
Congress President Sonia Gandhi on Tuesday hit out at the NDA-led Bihar government, alleging that its actions were ‘questionable’ and pitched the RJD-Congress grand alliance as the “call of Bihar”.
They are insulting PM Modi as they've been saying that this 'Jamura' is dancing on his tunes. Send me to jail & get my film probed. My film was made in 2011, why CM didn't act against me for the past 9 years then: LJP President Chirag Paswan on JD(U) leader Sanjay Jha's remarks - ANI
By commenting on my family, Nitish Kumar is targeting PM Modi as he also has 6 siblings. Using such language, Nitish Kumar has insulted women & my mother's sentiments. They don't speak on main issues including inflation, corruption, unemployment etc: RJD Leader Tejashwi Yadav - ANI
Can voters punish the tainted candidates? Unfortunately, this is not so easy. In the first phase of Bihar polls, 61 out of 71 constituencies are “red alert” ones, meaning each of these has at least three or more candidates who have criminal records. So, the choice for the voter is between one alleged criminal and another.
