PM Modi Slams INDIA Bloc, Says RJD Pressured Congress to Back Tejashwi; Predicts Post-Poll Fallout
Prime Minister Narendra Modi escalated his campaign rhetoric in Bihar, accusing the RJD of strong-arm tactics to make Tejashwi Yadav the opposition’s chief ministerial face. Speaking at rallies in Arrah, Bhojpur and Nawada, he claimed Congress leaders were coerced into accepting RJD’s choice, using a graphic “katta” analogy to describe the pressure. Modi contrasted the NDA’s development agenda with what he called the opposition’s “jungle raj” tactics and warned that the Mahagathbandhan’s rival parties would fracture “and even turn on each other” after the elections. He also highlighted NDA promises for farmers and criticised past Congress-era corruption. Polling for Bihar’s 243 assembly seats is scheduled in two phases on November 6 and 11, with counting on November 14.
