Amit Shah promises big role for deputy Nityanand Rai at rally
Ujiarpur (Bihar): Just a day before his fate was to be sealed in EVM machines in Gujarat, home minister Amit Shah was busy in Bihar, campaigning for his deputy Nityanand Rai, a man he calls his «jigaree dost» (close friend).
Rai, minister of state for home and BJP's most prominent face in Bihar, is looking for his third straight win from Ujiarpur, which will go to poll in the fourth phase on May 13. He is taking on RJD's Alok Kumar Mehta who was elected to the Lok Sabha from this seat in 2004 but was defeated by Rai in 2014.
«You make him MP...I assure you I will make him a big man,» Shah exhorted a massive audience at a rally here on Monday.
