"I don't need photos of PM Modi. He is in my heart. Much like Hanuman ji, if you cut open my heart you will find only Modi-ji," Lokjanshakti Party (LJP) leader Chirag Paswan said on Friday igniting the electoral scene in poll-bound Bihar.

He added, “It was Nitish Kumar who needed the PM's photos more as he was "insecure".

Earlier, BJP leader Sushil Modi has accused LJP of using PM Modi’s pictures for the poll campaign. LJP has severed its ties with the BJP in the state of late although it continues to be an NDA ally at the Centre.

Sushil Modi had said that BJP would approach Election Commission to prevent any other party except NDA allies from using PM Modi’s photograph in elections.

He also accused Nitish Kumar for ignoring him and not speaking a word after the death of his father Ram Vilas Paswan last week.
