Addressing an election rally in Bihar, Shah asked the people  if they wanted crackers to go off in Pakistan while appealing to them to vote for the BJP-led NDA.

Criticising Shah, Janata Dal United leader KC Tyagi said the BJP President has  has insulted the people of Bihar through his comment. "He knows that if the BJP doesn't win the elections - he will have to answer. Therefore, to save himself the embarrassment he's saying these things," Tyagi said.
