Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today alleged that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in panic without leader, policy and intention in Bihar.
"BJP in panic-without neta, niti & niyat in Bihar & facing defeat they're brazenly attempting to communalize & mask it with Modi's rhetorics," he tweeted.
Nitish, who will today address rallies in Bhagalpur, Navada and Gaya, had earlier countered the allegation of 'jungle raj' and highlighted the figures of National Crime Record Bureau in the BJP-ruled states.
The Bihar Chief Minister, who is leaving no stone unturned to ensure that the grand alliance of JD(U), RJD and Congress forms the next government in the state, has joined hands with his adversary RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav for the state assembly polls.
Elections for the 243-member Bihar Assembly will be held in five phases between October 12 and November 5.
The counting of votes will take place on November 8.
