"Even though Nitish and Lalu focused on personal attack rather than talking on developmental issues, NDA would get two third majority in Bihar elections and the results on November 8 would be startling," the Union Minister told reporters here yesterday.
"Their discussions were focused on beef or reservation for the backward community. They even made filthy remark against Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP's national President Amit Shah," he said.
On being asked why BJP has not named its Chief Ministerial candidate for Bihar polls, he said, "It is our internal issue. Let the election result be declared, we shall name the Chief Minister also. Meanwhile, I am not in the race."
Reacting to Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan's statement on "intolerance" in the country, Singh said, "People highlighting Pakistan in spite of their permanent stay here have no right to stay in India."
Earlier during his visit to Central Institute for Research on Goats (CIRG), Singh asked the scientists to design ways of increasing milk production.
"There is shortage of milk production. Scientists should find out ways to resolve it. Their efforts should appear on field, instead in labs," he said.
