Hajipur: Expressing confidence, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) chief Ram Vilas Paswan, who is contesting the Lok Sabha elections from Hajipur constituency, on Wednesday said there is a Modi and Paswan wave in Bihar.
"We are very confident that Hajipur is going to break its earlier polling record. There is only Modi and Ram Vilas Paswan factor in Bihar. There is no other factor here," said Paswan, whose political future will be decided today in the eighth phase of Lok Sabha polls.
