Giriraj said that his fight is against “anti-nationals”. “I am sure that people of Begusarai will not only defeat them but also give them a befitting reply,” he added “My fight in the ensuing Lok Sabha polls is not against any party or an individual but against the anti-nationals,” Giriraj further stated. Not only that, he also slammed Kanhaiya for seeking proof of air strike and stated that those leaders who are asking the Centre to give proof of India’s airstrike in Pakistan are not connected with the ground realities. Starting from 11 April, Bihar will go to polls for 40 Lok Sabha seats in seven phases. The main contenders in the state are BJP, Lok Janshakti Party, Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal.
