At a meeting of the RJD held today to review the party’s debacle in the elections, party leaders trained guns at their key ally, the Congress, for putting up a disastrous performance despite getting so many seats under the seat sharing arrangement. The Congress had contested 70 seats in the just-held elections but managed to win only 19 with its strike rate of roughly 27 per cent.
Out of the fourteen ministers, two are deputy chief ministries, Tarkishore Prasad and Renu Devi from the Bharatiya Janata Party(BJP) who will be among those taking oath on Monday at the event which will be attended by Home Minister Amit Shah.
The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has always maintained that Nitish Kumar would retain the post, but the dismal performance of the Janata Dal United (JDU) had put a question on it.
In the third phase, 78 of Bihar’s 243 assembly seats are up for election today which will decide the fate of thousands of candidates.
'However, it is necessary to wear masks and maintain social distancing,' PM said.
About 2.34 crore voters will decide the fates of 1204 candidates, including the Speaker and 12 members of the state cabinet.
Nitish Kumar in an election rally has told off Uttar Pradesh CM Adityanath’s remark of ‘throwing out infiltrators’ and said all this is ‘faltu baat.’
Voting in 94 seats crucial for important leaders like Tejashwi Yadav
Tejashwi Yadav tweeted,“Hope that you will not forget the promises made to Biharis in the last 6 years and will fulfil them.”
'Not just the country, Bihar is giving a message to the world. In COVID times, people are coming out in huge numbers to vote,' PM said.
