Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on November 5 drew a sharp ideological contrast between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the INDIA bloc’s Bihar leaders, saying Modi stands for the ideals of Lord Ram while Tejashwi Yadav and his father Lalu Prasad symbolise the “legacy of Babur-Aurangzeb.”

Addressing a rally in the Chanpatia assembly constituency of poll-bound Bihar’s West Champaran district, Sarma said the upcoming state polls were “a battle between two visions” — one represented by Modi’s values and another by the Rashtriya Janata Dal leadership.

“Modi represents the ideals embodied by Ram and Laxman. On the other hand, Tejashwi and Lalu represent the legacy of Babur-Aurangzeb,” Sarma told the gathering, drawing loud cheers from BJP supporters.
