NDTV
Tejashwi Yadav said, "Why only the JDU? The entire Bihar knows what's his (Amit Shah's) real purpose. It needs no saying. The moment you take his name, the entire country starts talking about his work".
Union home minister Amit Shah's visit to Bihar will be to "stoke communal tension" and the entire country knows this, Bihar's Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav said today, echoing his alliance partner Janata Dal United. While Mr Yadav has been a staunch critic of the BJP, this was the first time he made such a strong statement about the Union home minister, who is also the BJP's chief strategist.

As part of BJP's new strategy for Bihar, Amit Shah is expected to visit the state's Seemanchal region on September 23-24. He is likely to hold a rally in the Purnia district on September 23 and organisational meetings in Kishanganj the next day.
"Amit Shah will come and across the country and in Bihar, he will try to spoil communal harmony. The people of Bihar are careful. He will make no headway," JD(U) national president Rajiv Ranjan had said, dismissing the BJP plans.
Asked about the comment today, Tejashwi Yadav said, "Why only the JDU? The entire Bihar knows what's his (Amit Shah's) real purpose. It needs no saying. The moment you take his name, the entire country starts talking about his work".
