Modi Accuses Rivals of Divisiveness; Shah Links Congress to Ram Temple Opposition
Two leaders from India's ruling party, Prime Minister Modi and Home Minister Shah, were talking to people in Bihar during an election.
Modi said that two other political parties, Congress and RJD, have caused trouble by dividing people and creating riots in the past.
He also said their old policies made young people leave Bihar to find jobs elsewhere.
Shah talked about a big temple built for the god Ram in Ayodhya, saying that Congress and RJD were against building it.
He also promised to build a new temple for the goddess Sita in another part of Bihar.
They are using these points to ask people to vote for their party.
