During the period, we can brace for many tours of Shah and Modi." "For six months, they will try to behave as if Bihar is a top priority. Paeans will be sung to the state's glorious past. Even the launch of projects elsewhere will be scheduled on the soil of this state. But once the polls are over, Bihar will be off their radar till the next elections," Kishor remarked sarcastically. "I challenge Amit Shah to do just one thing. Let him ensure that labourers from Bihar ...
