PM Modi launched a stinging attack on RJD in Bihar and its CM candidate Tejashwi Yadav, asking voters to beware of the "yuvraaj" of "jungle raj", and said the party had "copyright over kidnappings"
On April 1, 2016, chief minister Nitish Kumar had declared Bihar a dry state, following in the footsteps of Gujarat, Mizoram, Nagaland and Lakshadweep
