BJP prime ministerial candidate Narendra Modi addressed a rally at Muzaffarpur in Bihar on March 3, 2014.

Mr Modi took several digs at the Bihar Chief Minister without naming him. "Mr Paswan quit the NDA and expressed his anger. But in all these years, he always met us with affection. I know some leaders who meet you in private but break into a sweat at shaking hands in public," he sneered.

Mr Paswan quit a long-running alliance with Lalu Prasad's Rashtriya Janata Dal after they failed to agree on seat sharing. The RJD is close to tying up seat-sharing with the Congress for the state's 40 Lok Sabha seats. The BJP has agreed to let Mr Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party contest seven seats. Mr Paswan brings to the table about five per cent Dalit votes in Bihar.
