Patna: The political picture in Bihar’s second phase of elections became clearer as 70 candidates withdrew their nominations following seat-sharing adjustments within the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance). With the withdrawals, 1,302 candidates will now contest across 122 constituencies.
Congress candidates Satish Kumar, Aditya Kumar, Tauqir Alam, and VIP Party candidate Bindu Gulab Yadav were among those who withdrew.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has been declared the chief ministerial candidate of the Mahagathbandhan. The alliance will release its manifesto on October 28. During a joint press conference, senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot made the announcement.
Tejashwi Yadav attacked the ruling NDA, questioning why it has not yet declared its chief ministerial candidate and asserting that BJP would never make Nitish Kumar CM again. He added that this would be Nitish Kumar’s last election and accused his government of corruption and mismanagement.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is scheduled to address an election rally in Bihar today.
