PM Modi launches Bihar poll campaign, plays OBC card

Launching his campaign for the 2025 Bihar Assembly elections with a clear focus on social equations, he highlighted the OBC narrative, describing himself, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and Union Minister Ramnath Thakur as "sons of backward families."
