Senior Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Manoj Jha wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday raising concern about the floods situation in Bihar amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
"There was already a lot of concern about COVID-19. But Bihar suffered a double whammy due to the floods during the coronavirus situation," wrote Manoj Jha in a letter in Hindi.
