Begusarai : Ahead of filing his nomination from Bihar's Begusarai seat, Union Minister Giriraj Singh said on Friday that the NDA is contesting all 40 seats, and all of them will go to Prime Minister Modi.

"NDA is contesting on all 40 seats, that means Narendra Modi is contesting on all 40 seats, all these seats will go to PM Modi," he said.

Further, lashing out at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav over making derogatory remarks on LJP chief Chirag Paswan, Giriraj Singh said that people's vote will end the RJD chief's arrogance.
