LJP chief Chirag Paswan releases manifesto for Bihar election
The Bharatiya Janata Party has lined-up a series of public meetings by party bigwigs in Bihar where polling will be held in three-phase from October 27 to November 7. Party president JP Nadda will address rallies in Bettiah and Motihari while Union minister Rajnath Singh will hold public meetings in Chainpur. BJP's star campaigner and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Aditynath will also address multiple rallies including one in Patna. The Congress, on the other hand, will release its manifesto today. The Congress is a constituent of the RJD led grand alliance. Earlier on Tuesday, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar mocked RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav's promise of 10 lakh jobs if his party forms the next government. Addressing election rallies at Gopalganjs Bhorey and Siwans Ziradei, Nitish asked will money for the purpose come from the jail or will it be done through fake notes. Kumar, who is the NDA's CM face, is facing a stiff challenge from Tejashwi who is the opposition's CM candidate. While Nitish Kumar is seeking a fourth consecutive win, it is a do or die battle for RJD which is led by jailed RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav's Tejashwi. The state is slated to go to the polls in three-phase between October 28 and November 7. The results will be declared on November 10.
