PM Modi to launch Lok Sabha Election campaign in Bihar tomorrow

livemint.com:

Modi, who is running for a third consecutive term in office, is scheduled to address the rally around noon. BJP ally Chirag Paswan, who has handed over the mantle to brother-in-law Arun Bharti after having represented Jamui, a reserved seat, two times on the trot, has been effusive in his praise for the prime minister for the gesture.

We are committed to helping him achieve the target of 400 plus seats for NDA, including all the 40 in Bihar," said Paswan.

Predictably, the Opposition wants the prime minister, the NDA's main crowd puller, to be held accountable for the alleged failures of his government, especially with respect to Bihar.
