Shah claimed that while Modi had repealed Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir, Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar had engaged in soft politics that had aided terrorism's growth.
"The BJP can never join hands with Nitish Kumar, who spreads venom of casteism, and 'Jungle Raj' pioneer Lalu Prasad," Shah said, while reiterating that BJP's doors are always closed for the Bihar CM.
Speaking furthher about the communal violence in the state, he added, "I pray to God that normalcy returns soon. When I spoke to the governor in the morning, Rajiv Ranjan Singh alias Lalan Singh became angry and asked why I was bothered about Bihar."
"I am the Union home minister and Bihar's law and order situation is my concern as well," he added.
