Election campaign goes full throttle in Bihar

As the assembly election is drawing nearer, the political parties are going full throttle to galvanise the voters in Bihar. Door-to-door campaigns, indoor meetings and other events are being organised across the state. However, the mega rallies are banned due to coronavirus pandemic. On one hand, leaders are highlighting their development works and achievements on the other they are unleashing attacks on their opponents for political mileage. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar announced the seat-sharing plan among the constituents of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the Bihar Assembly election. The BJP will contest 121 seats while Nitish's JD-U has 122 seats.

He said that JD-U has given 7 seats to Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) from its quota, while BJP will give seats to Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) from its quota. He said that talks between BJP and VIP are in the final stages.
