Ahead of the much-anticipated Bihar assembly elections, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday greeted the people of Bihar in a traditional Bhojpuri style. The Chief Minister greeted the people ahead of addressing three election rallies in the poll-bound state later on Wednesday.
While posting on social media platform X, Yogi Adityanath said, "Bihar ke sab bhai-bahin logan ke pranam ba. Aaj Raghunathpur, Shahpur evam Buxar Vidhan Sabha kshetra wasiyon se samvad ka avsar praapt hoga" (Greetings to all brothers and sisters of Bihar... Today I will get the opportunity to interact with the people of the Raghunathpur, Shahpur, and Buxar assembly constituencies.)
Praising the history of Bihar and highlighting that the state has been a land of "knowledge, revolution and devotion", the chief minister said that Bihar continues to stand with the NDA, which he described as a symbol of good governance and nationalism.
Yogi Adityanath further wrote that, "The people of Bihar must respond unitedly to corrupt and divisive forces. Bihar is ready, once again, for an NDA government."
This marks the Uttar Pradesh chief minister's second election-related visit to Bihar, where assembly elections are scheduled to be held in two phases on November 6 and 11, with results on November 14.
With less than ten days remaining before the first phase of polling in the Bihar Assembly elections, the environment has intensified in many districts across the state.
The Madhepura Assembly constituency has emerged as one of the key battlegrounds to watch. Located within the Madhepura Lok Sabha constituency, a political stronghold once represented by veteran leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav and Sharad Yadav, this seat holds significant importance in the upcoming state polls, as reported by ANI.
The election features a fierce contest between the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)), and the opposition Indian National Developmental Inclusive Alliance (INDIA bloc)/Mahagathbandhan, anchored by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Indian National Congress (INC), while master poll strategist-turned-politician Prashant Kishor's recently formed Jan Suraj is also making its debut this time.
Additionally, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj has staked claims to all 243 seats in the state. The assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14.
