Patna: Prime Minister Narendra Modi said that the upcoming election will be fought between "VoteBhakti and Deshbhakti". 

While addressing a rally in Bihar's Araria, PM  Modi said after the terror attacks in Mumbai, forces had asked for permission to retaliate but Congress government who was in power at that time refused because they wanted to do "votebhakti" politics. PM Modi said, "Instead of acting against Pakistan for the 26/11 attacks, Congress came out with Hindu terror.”
