Later, addressing an election rally in the district, Gandhi launched a fierce attack on Prime Minister Narendra Modi, accusing him of being "scared" of former US President Donald Trump and "remote-controlled" by corporate giants.

"Having a huge chest does not make you strong. Just look at Mahatma Gandhi, who had a frail build but took on the British, who were the superpowers of the time," he said.

"On the other hand, we have Narendra Modi with his boast of a 56-inch chest, who got a panic attack when Trump called him during Operation Sindoor, and the military conflict with Pakistan ended in two days. He is not just scared of Trump, but is also being remote-controlled by Ambani and Adani," he alleged.

Gandhi claimed that major decisions taken by the Modi government, including GST and demonetisation, were "aimed at destroying small businesses and benefiting the big ones".

"Our approach is different. We want to promote small businesses. We want to replace made in China labels on your phones and T-shirts with made in Bihar," he said.

Claiming that the PM could go to any extent for electoral gains, he added, "Tell him to do yoga, he will do a few asanas."

The voting for Bihar's 243-seat Assembly will take place in two phases on November 6 and 11. Counting of votes will take place on November 14
