Patna: “Katta” (a slang for a locally-made illegal firearm) has once again come into sharp focus in the ongoing campaign for Bihar assembly election after a purported viral video showed a minor saying that he would “carry a katta after RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav become chief minister”.

The political firestorm has erupted a day before the first phase of election will be held in 121 assembly constituencies spread over 18 districts of the state.

The video from Mahagathbandhan’s chief ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav’s rally held in Samastipur district`s Mohiuddinnagar constituency showed the child saying that if “Tejashwi bhaiya” returned to power, he would roam around carrying a katta (country-made gun).
