【Patna】Prime Minister Narendra Modi harped on his pet theme — development — when he addressed a series of rallies in Bihar on the 25th October. Taking a detour from controversial issues like beef and quota, Modi outlined his six-point agenda for Bihar’s progress.
However, at his poll meeting at Naubatpur in Patna, the last on Sunday, he broke his silence on the issue of reservation, saying no party today could afford to make any change in the reservation policy enshrined in the Constitution.
On the other hand, BJP president Amit Shah in an interview in Muzaffarpur said, "Bihar will give BJP entry to eastern India and the win will signal acceptance of the party's ideology in the region." He adds development will leave caste issues aside.
