'Instead of celebrating my birthday, be vigilant on counting day'

Mahagathbandan Chief Ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav has appealed to his supporters to stay at home and be vigilant on the day of vote counting on November 10 rather than celebrating his birthday on November 9.

Patna: As Mahagathbandan Chief Ministerial candidate Tejashwi Yadav decided to keep his birthday celebrations simple, his Rashtriya Janta Dal (RJD) on Sunday requested party workers to stay at home and avoid coming to his house to greet him personally.

The party has also asked workers to be vigilant on November 10, the day when votes in Bihar Assembly polls will be counted. The RJD's Chief Ministerial candidate's 31 st birthday is on November 9.

"A humble request to all well-wishers and supporters that its the Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav's personal decision to celebrate his birthday with simplicity, you stay at home and avoid coming to the house to personally greet. Keep your vigilant presence in the area for counting on November 10," RJD tweeted in Hindi.

Earlier in the day, with exit polls predicting victory for the RJD-led Grand Alliance, the party warned its workers against indulging in celebratory firing and "uncivil behaviour" towards rivals on the day of the counting of votes, irrespective of the results.
