Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing his last rally in Bihar for this Lok Sabha election, on Wednesday harped on his connection with Lord Krishna in what was seen as an effort to woo Yadav voters. People belonging to the Yadav caste believe they are descendants of Lord Krishna. “I have a strong connection with the Yaduvanshis as I come from Gujarat, where Dwarka is situated. For them, poverty is just a word and they don’t know the real meaning of the word,” Modi said. “This is my last election rally in Bihar,” Modi said at his 10th rally in the state in this election, and promised a “vikaas ki Ganga” (flood of development) in his next tenure.
