"You have challenged the prime minister for an open debate on the issue of utilisation of funds in Bihar. We accept it," Wasnik told an election rally in the presence of Congress president Sonia Gandhi in Kishanganj.
"You fix a date and decide the venue for the debate, we are ready for a fitting reply," said Wasnik, party leader in-charge of Bihar.
