Months before the Assembly elections in Bihar, Union Home Minister and BJP leader Amit Shah while addressing a virtual rally to reach out to the party workers on Sunday, 7 June, said, "The virtual rally has nothing to do with Bihar poll campaign, it's aimed at connecting with people in the fight against COVID-19."
He, however, also added that the NDA will form the government with 2/3rd majority in Bihar under Nitish Kumar's leadership.
"There are elections in Bihar in the coming days. I believe that under Nitish Kumar ji's leadership, NDA will form the government with 2/3rd majority. But this isn't the time for politics. We all should fight COVID-19 under Modi ji's leadership," he said.
Amid rising tensions between India and China at the border, he also spoke of India being able to protect its borders better than most countries.
"India's defence policy has gained global acceptance. The whole world agrees that after USA and Israel if there is any other country that is able to protect its borders, it is India,", he said as per ANI.
