Patna: As campaigning for third phase ends in Bihar, the focus now shifts to the penultimate phase of the Assembly Polls.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will be addressing rallies in Sitamarhi, Betiah and Motihari which go to polls in the fourth phase. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad will also be addressing rallies.
After a brief Dussehra break, both the NDA and JDU-RJD-Congress combine, plunged headlong into the hurly burly of electioneering, targeting each other over issues many of which were unrelated to the state.
Apart from the grand alliance's claim of the Narendra Modi government contemplating to scrap quotas for SC, ST and OBCs, which provoked a counteroffensive from the Prime Minister on the last day of the campaign, Dalit burning case in Haryana's Faridabad, Union Minister VK Singh's dog remark on it, besides a video clip of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar meeting a 'Tantrik' added variety and spice to the electoral discourse.
Addressing rallies at Chhapra, Nalanda and Patna, Modi dubbed Nitish-Lalu duo as leaders with a regressive agenda and "18th century mindset". He attacked Kumar over the "tantrik" controversy and said the RJD chief was leading "Rashtriya Jadu Tona" party.
