Patna (Bihar) [India], November 3 (ANI): After Prime Minister Narendra Modi claimed RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav's absence from the party's posters in Bihar, RJD leader Misa Bharti said that Yadav's fear has not left NDA leaders' minds.
Speaking to reporters, Bharti asked PM Modi if he came to Bihar to look at RJD supremo's pictures.
"PM Modi has come for the Bihar elections or to search for Lalu Yadav's photos? The fear of Lalu Yadav has not come out of the minds of NDA leaders and PM Modi," she said.
Taking a jibe at PM Modi for his "katta" remarks, she added, "On one side, the Prime Minister of the country talks about 'katta' and on the other side, Tejashwi Yadav talks about providing employment to the youth."


This comes after PM Modi, during an election rally in Katihar, took a dig at Congress and RJD, claiming that Lalu Prasad Yadav was missing from Mahagathbandhan's election posters.
Hinting at a rift between RJD and Congress, the Prime Minister also claimed that Congress was "almost absent" from RJD posters.

"Take a look at RJD and Congress posters. The person who was the Chief Minister for years and brought 'jungle raj', his picture is missing from the posters or is so small that it is not even visible through binoculars. Yeh chhupa chhupai kyon ho rahi hai? Why are you ashamed of taking your father's name? What sin is RJD hiding from the people of Bihar? Congress is almost absent from their (Mahagathbandhan) posters. RJD, by showing Congress a gun, got the Chief Ministerial candidate announced, and now Congress is being shown its place," PM Modi said.
Earlier today, referring to the Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's absence from PM Modi's recent roadshow in Patna, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge took a jibe at the NDA, saying that "PM Modi is playing a trick by making Nitish Kumar invisible."
Speaking at a press conference in Patna, Congress President said, "There was a road show here yesterday. I saw a lot of impressive photos (of PM Modi). I didn't see Nitish with him. Even at the rally, where Nitish was nowhere to be seen. They (the BJP) made him disappear to the point where they wouldn't even mention him as Chief Minister. So, this is going on. What will happen after this election?"
Accusing the BJP of political manipulation, Kharge added, "I can't predict, but PM Modi is playing a trick. He's trying to make Nitish Kumar invisible."
The row comes ahead of the polling for the Bihar Assembly elections, which will take place in two phases on November 6 and 11. The election results will be announced on November 14. (ANI)
