PM Modi to address rally in Gaya ahead of Bihar polls
Patna, Aug 9 (IBNS): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday will address a rally in Gaya ahead of the Bihar Assembly polls.
He will be accompanied by BJP President Amit Shah and other party leaders from the state.
This is Modi's second visit to state as a part of the poll campaign.
In his earlier 'Parivartan rally' in North Bihar's Muzaffarpur last month, Modi said there was something wrong in Nitish Kumar's "political DNA" as he ditched "friends".
"I was hurt when he withdrew his support. But when he did the same thing to a Mahadalit like Jitan Manjhi, then I figured out there is something wrong in his political DNA," Modi had said in a remark referring to events following the JD(U)'s split with the BJP in 2013.
Modi had alleged that Kumar broke up with him ahead of the Lok Sabha elections for personal gain.
"If you hated me so much you could have come into my room and slapped me. Or strangled me. For that you jeopardised the development of the entire state," he had said.
The JD(U) and the BJP were alliance partners for 15 years till they split ahead of the Lok Sabha elections over the projection of Modi as prime ministerial candidate.
