Bihar Chief Minister led Janata Dal (United) on Saturday released the party slogan for the upcoming Assembly election. The slogan reads, 'Vikash path par chal pada Bihar, mai uski katar hu. Bihar ke vikash me, mai chota sa bhagidar hu. Han mai Nitish Kumar hu.

Patna (Bihar):With Bihar Legislative Assembly elections just months away, political parties have started preparations for the impending contest. Till now, the state has witnessed poster war between the Janata Dal (United) and Tejaswi Yadav led- Rashtriya Janata Dal even during the coronavirus pandemic.

Meanwhile, with a new slogan, JD(U) on Saturday released a new slogan- "Vikash path par chal pada Bihar, mai uski katar hu. Bihar ke vikash me, mai chota sa bhagidar hu. Han mai Nitish Kumar hu."

Recently, the Janata Dal-United (JDU) in the morning pasted posters depicting RJD leader and former Chief Minister Lalu Prasad Yadav in jail at Income Tax and Dak Bungalow crossroads in Patna to oppose 'Garib Adhikar Diwas.'

Posters featuring Lalu Prasad Yadav and Mohammad Shahabuddin banging 'thalis' inside the jail. The slogans on these posters read 'Kaidi baja raha thali, janata bajao taali' in an apparent jibe at the two RJD leaders serving terms in prison.

It is worth mentioning that due to the coronavirus outbreak, political quarters are taking a virtual turn and are banking on social media platforms to reach out to voters.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah has already performed the Bharatiya Janata Party's election campaign in the state virtually. The party had chosen Bihar BJP Facebook and YouTube pages for the live streaming to reach out to the people residing in the 243 Assembly segments of the state.

In the 2015 Assembly Elections, the NDA was defeated by the grand alliance of the RJD-JD(U)-Congress. However, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar later broke ties with his allies in 2017 and entered in an alliance with the BJP again after a gap of over four years.
