Gaya: A poster war has erupted between ruling JD(U) and opposition BJP in Gaya ahead of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to the holy city to address a party rally scheduled for Sunday.

District administration officials said BJP workers claimed that posters and hoardings put up for Modi's rally were torn and replaced with banners projecting Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and carrying slogan 'We won't be deceived and will ensure victory for Nitish'. The JD(U) workers were quick to rebut the allegations and claimed that BJP workers had pulled down their posters and replaced them with posters of the Prime Minister.
