Nitish govt's days are numbered: BJP

“Modi is a product of RSS school of thought, holds master's degree in propaganda and believes in the theory of Goebbels (Hitler's Propaganda Minister),” he added.  JD(U) spokesman Rajiv Ranjan Prasad said the statement was part of a strategy to create “pressure” on officials ahead of the remaining two phases of polling in the state and urged the Election Commission to take notice of it and initiate necessary action.

In his reaction to the BJP's claim, RJD president Lalu Prasad Yadav said, “Right now everybody is engaged in Lok Sabha elections. So what is the logic of talking about state politics.”

“It is like being in Ranchi but talking about Karachi (Pakistan city),” he added.

Congress in-charge of Bihar Satyavrata Chaturvedi described the BJP assertions as “untimely” as all parties and leaders were busy with parliamentary polls.
