This comes after Prime Minister, during an election rally in Bihar's Muzaffarpur, targeted former chief minister Lalu Prasad and his family members saying that law and order was pathetic during his time in office.

"You can imagine what will happen to the funds for COVID-19 if they come to power... What else can residents of Bihar expect from the 'Yuvraj' (prince) of 'Jungle Raj', given their past record?" Prime Minister said during his Muzaffarpur rally.

Elections for 243 Assembly seats are being held in three phases. Polling for 71 seats took place on October 28. Voting for 94 seats will be held on November 3 and the remaining 78 seats on November 7. The results will be announced on November 10.

Five years ago, Nitish Kumar's JD-U fought the elections in alliance with the RJD and the Congress, whereas the NDA had Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party and Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) in its camp.

In the poll fray, the JD-U has moved to the NDA camp, the LJP is fighting its own battle and the RLSP is a part of the Grand Democratic Secular Front.
