"PM Modi only contests elections, doesn't pay attention to governance: Congress' Udit Raj

New Delhi [India], October 19 (ANI): As Bihar gears up for the Assembly election, Congress leader Udit Raj on Sunday said that the INDIA bloc will soon launch its own campaign.
Criticising Modi's focus on elections over governance, Raj highlighted the success of Congress's ongoing 'Voter Bachao Yatra,' vowing to intensify efforts to counter the BJP's campaign.
His remarks came as Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal said PM Modi will visit Bihar on October 24, addressing rallies in Samastipur and Begusarai ahead of the Assembly elections on November 6 and 11. The results are on November 14.
Speaking to ANI, Raj said, "INDIA alliance will also announce its campaign soon. He only contests elections. His job is to only contest elections. He doesn't pay attention to governance. But our campaign started before theirs. The 'Voter Bachao Yatr' was very powerful and will have an impact. If our campaign is delayed by a couple of days, we will compensate for it."
