“We have decided to lodge a complaint against him (Sharad Yadav) with the Bihar Election Commission,” said Hariprasad.
“The words that one uses in politics must be in accordance to the democratic principals. Sharad Yadav has crossed all limits of in decency. He seems to have lost his mind and he should be treated,” Hariprasad said.
Meanwhile, the Election Commission has asked the state administration to seal the border at Raxaul, leading to Nepal.

Security has been beefed up as for the smooth commencement of the Bihar elections.
