Setting the tone for the Bihar poll campaign, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday said the BJP has “mentally retired” Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and considers him to be a “liability”, while claiming that the upcoming assembly elections will mark the beginning of the end of the Modi government’s “corrupt rule” at the Centre.

In his opening remarks at the Congress Working

Kharge also made an apparent reference to US President Donald Trump’s recent statements and actions and took a dig at Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
