#BattleForBihar2020 : Nitish Kumar Asks People To Think Before Casting Their Vote, Warns Them Of The Past Regimes

Beginning his election tours with a public meeting at Banka, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has alerted people not to fall in anybody’s “publicity trap” else while their income would multiply but that of the common man would slide as was the case before the present dispensation came on the scene. He cautioned people that any error in making a right decision while casting vote would pave way for return of condition that prevailed 15 years before the NDA assumed reins of the state in 2005 end.

After launching campaign for Bihar polls with a virtual rally and addressing two more digital rallies Tuesday, Kumar started addressing election meetings physically with a public meeting at Balua maidan in Banka district during the day. From there he flew to Bhagalpur to address a second rally at Sultanganj and after that another one at Munger and the last in Mokama in the outskirts of Patna.

On return to the state capital, he addressed a virtual rally from the party headquarters in a bid to reach out to maximum number of people during the election. Reports from ground zero suggested that while the CM and others sitting on the dais wore masks and maintained social distancing norms to ward off danger of spread of deadly coronavirus, among the general public who had turned up in good numbers in the rallies many were sighted without mask and standing in close proximity to each other.

Seeking vote for his party candidates, Kumar who heads the ruling Janata Dal (United), listed achievements of his governments in the last 15 years and reeled out figure to compare them with the situation prevailing in the state for an equal amount of time before that. The RJD was in power in Bihar from 1990 to 2005. Kumar is at the helm of state affairs since then.
