“Today there is a fight between two ideologies in the country. On one side there is hatred, violence and ego, on the other side there is love, brotherhood and respect.

By 2022 every person will have a permanent house. Farmer’s income will double by 2022. Will make Patna a smart city. No one got all this – that means Modi ji is the ‘lord of lies’,” Kharge said.
The Congress chief also accused Modi government of using central.probe agencies to intimidate the Opposition.
“Modi government uses ED, CBI and IT to intimidate the opposition. Lalu ji is being threatened continuously, but he does not bow down. Whereas Nitish Kumar joined BJP and now he is saying – We will remain at your feet,” he added.
