'People of Bihar no longer take the PM's visit seriously and there is no enthusiasm left for it'

- IMRAN MOJIB

Prime Minister Narendra Modi's scheduled visit to Bihar on Thursday and Friday has drawn sharp criticism from the Congress and the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) as leaders of the two opposition parties alleged that the PM has been playing with people's emotion by making false promises at his election rallies.

Bihar Congress President Rajesh Ram said that Modi's back-to-back Bihar visits and announcements of development projects worth several thousand crore rupees have reminded people of the tall promises he has made at elections rallies in the past.

Spokesperson of RJD Bihar Chittaranjan Gagan also asked the Prime Minister to share details of the initiatives taken in the direction of making Bihar a developed state during his 11-year-rule.
