Shah said this while addressing a rally in Bihar's Seemanchal region, where BJP had lost during the Lok Sabha polls though it had swept the rest of the state.
Claiming that people of Bihar had anger for the grand alliance of JD(U)-RJD-Congress, he said, "Under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, a BJP-led NDA government is set to be formed. Bihar will see a tsunami of development."
"On one shoulder of Kumar is (RJD chief) Lalu Prasad who is a symbol of jungle raj while corrupt Congress is on his other shoulder. He is just a mascot for them," he said.
Though the Muslim-dominated region is going to polls in the last phase on November 5, the BJP is pulling out all stops to put up a strong show here as it seen as a weak link by the party in its quest to capture power in the state where it has never ruled as the dominant partner.
