Bihar– Rahul Gandhi dived into a fish pond in Begusarai earlier in this week before the phase 1 election. PM Modi took a jibe at this political stunt in a public rally at Sitamarhi today ahead of the phase 2 assembly election. Without directly mentioning Rahul Gandhi’s name, PM Modi said that some "bade bade log" are now coming into Bihar and diving for fish.

"Bade bade log bhi yahan ki macchli dekhne aa rahe hain. Paani mein dubki laga rahe hain... Bihar ke election mein doobne ki practice kar rahe hain (Even big names are coming here to see the fish. They’re taking a dip in the water… practicing for drowning in the Bihar elections)," PM Modi said. In the video of the pond-diving, former state minister Mukesh Sahni was also seen accompanying Rahul Gandhi. Congress leader Kanhaiya Kumar was also there.

PM Modi didn’t restrain himself with the teasing remark. He sharply criticized RJD. PM Modi said, “I shudder to hear that the RJD, in its campaign, is getting children to say that upon growing up, they wish to become 'rangdaar' (street bully). Bihar definitely does not want a government which has 'katta', 'kushasan' (misgovernance), 'kroorta' (cruelty) and corruption to offer.”
