Prime Minister Narendra Modi intensified his attack on the opposition's INDIA bloc during rallies in Bihar on Monday, alleging that the RJD "forced" the Congress to name Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial candidate - claiming it was done "at gunpoint." Hitting back, Congress chief Mallikarjun Kharge dismissed the charge as false, accusing the Prime Minister of "spreading lies" about the alliance and its decisions.
