Union Home Minister Amit Shah today addressed a mega rally in Bihar's Purnia. In the name of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Mr Shah effectively launched BJP's solo election campaign for Bihar, ahead of the 2024 General Elections. Launching a direct attack on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for breaking his ties with the BJP, Mr Shah said the Janata Dal (United) leader betrayed BJP to fulfil his prime ministerial ambition.
The rally, named 'Jan Bhavna Mahasabha', is the first organised by BJP in the state after Mr Kumar walked out of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) last month and joined a Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) with Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal.
