Bihar has traditionally low voter turnout which was only 52% in last elections. He also emphasised that the elections have to be free. By this he mean to say that the voters in some respect should not be intimidated, threatened, not to be victimised by.

“Very happy about the unity of Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar” – Mulayam Singh Yadav:

New equations and a new friendship has formed in between two big names of Bihar politics, i.e. Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav. Both of them along with Samajwadi Party supremo Mulayam Singh Yadav made a new alliance Janata Parivar to counter BJP. Here what Mulayam Singh Yadav said: “I am very happy about the unity of Lalu Prasad and Nitish Kumar. Nitish Kumar will be the chief ministerial candidate for Bihar.

He declared that they are united to fight together to eradicate the “communal forces”.

With all these political drama going on, it is impossible to not get a word from Lalu Prasd Yadav himself. Here what he said after declaration made by Mulayam singh Yadav: I had to accept Mr. Kumar as CM candidate of the alliance to crush this cobra of communalism. Together we will destroy and wipe out the BJP from Bihar unitedly and for that “I am ready to consume all kinds of poison.” He also said “there are no differences between us”, making clear of some earlier statements of discomfort made by some RJD leaders over naming Nitish Kumar for Chief Ministerial post. “We belong to the same family. Yes, we fought against each other and also made some allegations.

I am ready to support him to stop these communal forces”.

“The hype of this Grand Alliance is nothing but a gimmick”- Ram Vilas Paswan

On this new alliance of Nitish-Lalu, LJP leader and current union minister Ram vilas Paswan said “This alliance between JD(U) and RJD before the Bihar elections is a nautanki (gimmick)”. He also said “the vote bank of this grand alliance is particularly unstable with the expulsion of one of their important members Jitan Ram Manjhi and Pappu Yadav from JD(U) and RJD respectively, while that of NDA’s vote bank is more or less stable. This makes us confident enough of forming a government with two-third majority easily.”

“Not an easy task for BJP to find a suitable candidate against us”- Nitish Kumar

Speaking at Sri Krishna Memorial Hall in Patna at the JD-U workers’ meeting, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, fired at BJP saying it will be difficult for them to find a suitable candidate for defeating the ‘Lalu-Nitish’ duo. He also added that he is just going to focus on the election campaign and the rest will be managed by former CM Lalu Prasad Yadav.“Lalu ji has not even made a comeback in full force till now. All that he has said so far is just a teaser,” stated Kumar.

“Nitish is a Ravan known for his tyranny and arrogance”- Jitan Ram Manjhi

Following resignation of Manjhi from CM seat and his removal from JD(U), furious Nitish Kumar described him as Vibhishan. With no one wants to concede an inch to other, here what Jitan Ram Manjhi has to say:“I feel honoured that Nitish has called me Vibhishan,” Manjhi said in Muzaffarpur. But if I am Vibhishan, Nitish is surely Ravan who was known for his tyranny and arrogance.” The Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) leader said he was happy that he was likened to someone who had sided with Lord Ram. “I will also be instrumental for the fall of Ravan’s Lanka in Bihar,” he said.

“We are with NDA on the condition of getting 15 seats”- Jitan Ram Manjhi

Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) leader Jitan Ram Manjhi also said “his party has reached an alliance with the NDA in principle and the seat-sharing would be decided at the meeting of NDA constituents. However all 15 sitting MLAs who have rebelled against JD(U) and are now part of HAM should get the tickets. These 15 seats of sitting MLAs would be definitely our condition in the seat-sharing talks of the NDA,” Manjhi said.

“Nitish should rethink who is the real Vibhishan before commenting to other”- Nand Kishore Yadav

With so much attack from Nitish, how can one hope BJP to remain silent! Senior BJP leader Nand Kishore Yadav said Nitish was referring to Manjhi as Vibhishan but he should tell as to who was the Vibhishan of the NDA? “Who had betrayed the people of Bihar by going against their mandate?” he asked referring to Nitish’s decision to sever his 17-year-old ties with the BJP.

“We’ll fight this election on our Prime Ministers global image”- Rajnath Singh

Here what the Home Minister Mr. Rajnath Singh has to say: “This upcoming Bihar election will be fought on the basis of our Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s fame and good works rather than on petty issues like caste or religions”, Rajnath Singh had said.

BJP think it’s the right time to show the NDA’s strength
