Bihar is probably all that is on Amit Shah’s mind right now. Ahead of the hectic campaigning, he was spotted hopping from temple to pandal in Mumbai on Thursday.

The Bharatiya Janata Party boss took darshan at the famous Lalbaughcha Raja and also visited the Siddhivinayak Temple on Ganesh Chaturthi, the beginning of the 10-day festival.

No prizes for guessing what he was praying for.
