Purnia MP Pappu Yadav said that people from backward castes, Dalits, and minorities in Bihar are embracing the ideology of Congress leader Rahul Gandhi. He stated that these people are deeply troubled by migration and unemployment in the country. Pappu Yadav made this statement just weeks before the Bihar Assembly elections.
Confident of NDA forming government in Bihar
On the other hand, Rashtriya Lok Morcha chief Upendra Kushwaha took a dig at the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). He said that the RJD is releasing its candidate list at the last minute. According to Kushwaha, the RJD is doing so because it is afraid of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He also said that the people of Bihar know everything and will definitely give a befitting reply to the Grand Alliance. Kushwaha expressed confidence that the NDA will form the government in Bihar.
RJD and Congress face off on some seats
The RJD released a list of 143 candidates on the last day of filing nominations for the second phase of the Bihar elections. Both RJD and Congress have fielded candidates in some seats. For example, in Narkatiaganj, Deepak Yadav (RJD) will face Shaswat Kedar Pandey (Congress). Similarly, in Kahalgaon, Rajneesh Bharti (RJD) will contest against Praveen Singh Kushwaha (Congress). In Sikandra (SC) seat, Uday Narayan Chaudhary (RJD) will face Vinod Chaudhary (Congress). In Lalganj (Vaishali), Shivani Shukla is likely to face Aditya Raja (Congress). However, it is also expected that the alliance partners will reach a compromise and one party will withdraw its candidacy.
The assembly elections in Bihar will be held in two phases. The first phase will be held on November 6 and the second phase on November 11. The election results will be declared on November 14.
