Ninety-Four of Bihar's 243 seats will be up for election today in the second phase of assembly polls with BJP's biggest crowd-puller - Prime Minister Narendra Modi spearheading the NDA attack with a series of rallies. The rallies will be digitally transmitted to 200 grounds in Bihar where more crowd is expected to gather.
By-elections for 54 assembly seats across ten states will also be held today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has two rallies scheduled for Tuesday. One rally at Arariya and another at Saharsa. Both are kept early in the day deliberately.
As per reports, the first rally is at 9:30 am and PM Modi will address what the BJP is calling a ‘Vishal Jan sabha’ at Farbisganj's Hawai Adda Maidan which comes under Araria. The main candidates include Tejashwi Yadav, the Chief Ministerial candidate of the alliance of Rashtriya Janata Dal, the Left parties, and the Congress.
In another report BJP MLA from Bihar's Baikunthpur, Mithilesh Tiwari, was attacked by 50 bike-borne men late Monday in Gopalganj. The men also damaged his car. Tiwari staged a sit-in protest outside the police station alleging that attackers were supporters of independent candidate Manjeet Singh. He also said that the police were apathetic in action.
