Tejashwi says BJP leaders in 'depression', stokes row

Taking a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s two back to-back rallies in Bihar on Friday, Tejashwi told the media that farmers, youth, women, students, businessmen and employees had come to know that it was difficult to get jobs and the problem of unemployment would not be solved if Modi was at the helm. 

He also said that prices of various commodities would not be checked and people’s issues would not be discussed if Modi continued to hold the PM post.
