In campaigning spree, Tejashwi holds 15 rallies
PATNA, Nov. 4 -- The opposition chief ministerial face of the seven party coalition, Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi and Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge stepped up their electioneering by putting forth the employment agenda of the coalition and also taking jibes at Prime Minister Narendra Modi for showcasing NDA government as agent of development and progress in the state.
Leader of the opposition and CM face of INDIA bloc in Bihar- popularly called as Mahagathbandan- Tejashwi carried his intensive campaigning by addressing around 15 rallies in Bhojpur, Ara, Saran, Patna and other districts in the day, where he promised that ' if his government comes, all households in the state would get government jobs, if they are not covered by any form of government employment'.

Earlier in the day Yadav also took digs at PM Modi for the latter's comment that Congress was pressured to declare him the CM face of the opposition coalition at 'gun point',
