PM Modi Claims '65-Volt Shock' to Opposition in Bihar Polls
Prime Minister Modi visited Bihar to campaign for his party, saying that people have given the opposition a big electric shock in the first round of voting.
He warned that if the opposition party RJD wins, they will rule with guns and force people to obey them.
He also mentioned that this election is very important for the future of Bihar's children and that his party, the NDA, wants to develop the state.
Other leaders from his party also criticized opposition leader Rahul Gandhi, saying he is not really concerned about poor people and is not even present in Bihar to campaign.
Rahul Gandhi's sister, Priyanka Vadra, said they are fighting against the Prime Minister's 'empire' and accused election officials of trying to steal people's votes.
The opposition party RJD is showing their young leader, Tejashwi Yadav, as their candidate for Chief Minister.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi concluded his campaign in Bihar, claiming the opposition received a '65-volt shock' in the first phase of voting.
Modi attacked the RJD, warning that an opposition victory would lead to a 'katta' (gun) on people's heads and a focus on appeasement.
Cabinet ministers Amit Shah and Rajnath Singh criticized Rahul Gandhi's pro-Dalit stance and his family's alleged corruption.
Priyanka Vadra of the Congress framed their campaign against Modi's 'empire' and raised allegations of 'vote chori' by Election Commissioners.
