Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Wednesday unleashed a no-holds-barred attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of doing “anything for votes” and alleging that the BJP was running the Nitish Kumar government in Bihar “through remote control”. Gandhi made the statements, kicking off his Assembly poll campaign in the state by holding back-to-back rallies in Muzaffarpur and Darbhanga. 

Addressing joint rallies alongside the INDIA bloc’s CM face Tejashwi Yadav, “You must have seen the drama on TV that Modi was going to take a dip in the Yamuna for Chhath Puja. It was shelved when it was exposed that a puddle had been formed with clean, piped water since the river is so dirty.” “Narendra Modi is ready to enact all types of drama. You try telling him at a poll rally that, Mr Prime Minister, we will vote for you if you dance. He will readily perform Bharat Natyam,” he claimed.
