The three main Bihar parties – JDU, BJP and RJD – will officially launch their electoral campaign.
New Delhi:
Bihar’s three main parties, the ruling BJP and Janata Dal United of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, and Rashtriya Janata Dal of the opposition Laloo Yadav, will officially launch their electoral campaign for the next state elections today .
Amit Shah will address his first digital gathering in the state, for workers of the 1 lakh party in 243 Assembly constituencies. Party sources said the centerpiece of his speech would be the success of the Narendra Modi government in the past six years.
He is also likely to repeat that the elections to the Bihar assembly, scheduled for October or November, will be contested under the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
Although the virtual rally takes place around 4 o’clock in the evening, the opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal started her virtual protest against her utensils.
In Patna, RJD leaders Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav were seen hitting utensils outside their home. In its protest, the party also highlights the situation of migrant workers, which is one of the main problems pointed out by the opposition.
On Saturday, Tejashwi Yadav arrived at the party office and put up a poster with questions addressed to chief minister Nitish Kumar.
The chief minister, who has not spoken at a single press conference in the past 75 days, has meanwhile started a videoconference with his supporters. The plan is to reach the base with party presidents from seven districts by videoconference.
In Patna, RJD leaders Rabri Devi, Tejashwi Yadav and Tej Pratap Yadav were seen hitting utensils outside their home.
Allies of the BJP and the Lok Janshakti party of Ram Vilas Paswan believe that the image of the Prime Minister, who had previously been nicknamed “Sushashan Babu” (Mr. Good Governance), took precedence over the issue of migrants.
Despite spending 8,500 crore rupees on various schemes, controversial decisions like stopping special trains in March and refusing to pay for migrant train travel have sparked much anger among voters, say the parties.
The absence of any communication from the Prime Minister explaining the decisions made the situation worse, the parties said.
