Mr Tyagi claimed around Rs. 15-18 crore are being spent on Prime Minister Narendra Modi's Muzzaffarpur rally on July 25.
"Around 100 Gujarati businessmen have been given the responsibility to collect over 20 lakh sarees by Bihar election co-convenor CR Patil, an MP from Gujarat. Each saree costs between Rs. 500 to Rs. 150.
"This is nothing but a pre-election political bribe. Narendra Modi and Amit Shah (BJP president) are aware that if they lose the Bihar polls, then it will be a loss of face for them, so they are trying to win the polls by all means.
"JD (U), Congress, RJD and Janata Parivar parties have sought time from the Election Commission and we will report this matter to the poll watchdog," Mr Tyagi told reporters
