Darbhanga, October 28: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi Wednesday said there was anger among small shopkeepers, youths, farmers and labourers against Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the national level and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar in Bihar.

Addressing his second poll rally of the day at Kusheswar Asthan in Darbhanga, the former Congress president also said it was sad that Prime Minister Modis effigy was burnt in Punjab on the occasion of Dusshera. "You didnt get to see it perhaps because Nitishji and Modiji control the media," he alleged. Also Read | Bihar Assembly Elections 2020: PM Narendra Modi Tears Into Opposition at Rally in Patna, Calls Tejashwi Yadav 'Yuvraj of Jungleraj'.
