The PM said that the Opposition alliance has no vision for the state.
Four criminals were beaten to death with sticks and stones by a vigilante mob in a Bihar village, police said on Tuesday.
The incident took place in Rohtas district of Bihar, when the eight criminals were trying to flee after firing indiscriminately at a man in Koath area, said police officer Alok Kumar and added that the criminals had sought to extort money from Arun Choudhary, husband of a Rohtas District Council member Rinki Kumari.
The police said the eight men had allegedly demanded Rs 3 lakh from Rinky Devi nearly one-and-half-months ago and threatened her of dire consequences if she did not pay.
