Chirag tweeted on Saturday to say that by joining together, the BJP and LJP nominees will build a “young” Bihar when he asked voters to support BJP candidate Shreyashi Singh in the Jamui constituency. LJP has said that there will be a “friendly fight” with the BJP in five seats where it has also presented its candidates.

Meanwhile, taking a tail from Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s “Mann ki Baat” monthly radio address, the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) has launched a social media campaign “Chirag se kaho Mann ki Baat” featuring the views of people on mass migration of the state, development, employment and law and order situation in Bihar.
This is part of the campaign to popularize the LJP chief Chirag Paswan’s “Bihar First Bihari First” agenda as the election dates approach. The party’s social media posted videos of young people, women and the elderly pointing out gaps in the school education system, infrastructure, industrial development, electricity supply and the availability of clean water. The LJP has been attacking Prime Minister Nitish Kumar on development issues, while the CM has been highlighting developments carried out during his tenure.
The campaign comes amid senior BJP leaders criticizing Chirag for taking the names of top leaders, particularly the prime minister, for his blessings and his claims that the BJP-LJP will form the government in Bihar after the elections.
“The messages are testimonies of people. This is the first time that a political party in Bihar has prepared its vision document by talking to the people and taking their input on what they want from the government. Isn’t it true that successive state governments have failed to create opportunities for people? We go to people with promises and the road map. There is no road ahead for Nitish Kumar, ”said LJP national spokesperson Sanjay Saraf.
Meanwhile, the senior LJP leader and Paswan’s younger brother, Pashupati Kumar Paras, did the damage control on Friday night, just hours after praising the Bihar CM and its development work, which had stopped confused party officials. Turning 180 degrees, Paras criticized the CM saying that there has been no development during his tenure and that any development that has taken place is due to the NDA government in the Center. Chirag called it “VikasPurush” who has set an agenda for development.
