Union minister Giriraj Singh on Saturday filed his nomination papers from Begusarai Lok Sabha constituency where he is locked in a keenly-watched triangular contest with RJDs Tanveer Hassan and CPI debutante Kanhaiya Kumar.
The firebrand BJP leader performed worship at a local Shiva temple before reaching the collectorate keeping the affair rather low key in view of Fridays mishap on the outskirts of the town where a truck had ploughed through a roadside hut killing seven people, including a minor girl.
Talking to reporters on the occasion, Singh claimed that he was sensing an "unprecedented" enthusiasm among the voters of the constituency who seemed to display "full faith in the countrys development, the valour of our armed forces and the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi."
