Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday launched an attack on the opposition RJD in Bihar, calling its chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav the “yuvraj” (crown prince) of “jungle raj”.
He cautioned people against the double whammy Bihar could face if those responsible for having turned the state “beemar” (sick) were voted to power amid the global Covid-19 pandemic.
Addressing a rally in Patna, he recalled the ancient city’s association with legendary figures like mathematician Aryabhatta, emperor Asoka and Guru Gobind Singh, and evoked applause from Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and others sharing the dais when he spoke a few lines in Magahi.
