Patna, Apr. 20 (ANI): Ahead of the second phase of Lok Sabha elections, campaigning is in full swing in Bihar with all parties trying all means and modes to woo the voters.

Actor-turned-Congress candidate Shekhar Suman told his constituency people that his party had fifty years of development history, and that is why it should be voted to power.

"I want to tell the people that Congress is the only party that has brought progress to our nation and out of 60 years of independence, the Congress has ruled for 50 years and the reason behind it is that people have trust in this party," said Suman, who is contesting from Patna Sahib seat.
