Prime Minister Narendra Modi, doubling his push for Bihar votes today, extended the Yuvraj (Crown prince) jibe to two more leaders -- Rahul Gandhi and Akhilesh Yadav -- and cited the BJP's victory over them in neighbouring Uttar Pradesh a few years ago. In Bihar too, two Crown Princes are fighting to save their throne, he said, without naming Rahul Gandhi, who held a series of rallies in the state earlier this week.

The other is Tejaswi Yadav, whom he has designated "Jungle Raj ka Yuvraj" earlier this week in the most direct attack so far at the 31-year-old political heir of Lalu Yadav."Today, in front of Bihar, there is a government of 'double engines'," he said, quoting Tejaswi Yadav's jibe at the alliance government of Bihar.

"On the other side there are double-double crowns. One of them is also the crown prince of Jungle Raj," he added, without naming Rahul Gandhi, whose Congress is an partner in the Grand Alliance of Tejashwi Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Left parties.

"The double-engined NDA government is committed to the development of Bihar. So the double crown princes are fighting to save their thrones," said PM Modi at the first of the day's four rallies in Chhapra, the home turf of Lalu Yadav.

Over the last decade, Mr Gandhi has been at the receiving end of BJP jibes over his Nehru-Gandhi legacy. Tejashwi Yadav has been similarly targeted over the 15-year rule of his parents in Bihar -- tagged "Jungle raj" by rival parties over its law and order issues.
