Bihar election 2020 live updates: Modi, Nitish are no different, says Rahul Gandhi

"Hollow promises are meaningless. If it was so easy to give 10 lakh govt jobs then everyone would make such promises, but it isn't easy," he says on RJD's poll promise.

"You can get me to give you in writing that Nitish Kumar will never again be the CM after November 10. I will have no role to play, I want 'Bihar first, Bihari first'. I want work to be done as per the vision document prepared by suggestions of four lakh Biharis," Chirag told ANI. "People evicted big people from power because of their arrogance. The Chief Minister does not have any roadmap," he added. Meanwhile, Mahagathbandhan's chief ministerial candidate and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav, earlier today said that in this "tsunami of change", the people of Bihar will vote on agenda of education, healthcare, inflation, etc

Hitting out at Rashtriya Janata Dal-led grand alliance in Bihar, Sushil Modi said: "Congressmen give tickets to Jinnah supporter. The people of Mahagathbandhan have given tickets to those accused of murder, rape and extortion. The people of Mahagathbandhan want to bring jungle raj in Bihar again. To save Bihar, every vote should go to the NDA only."

Election Commission's technical team goes to the polling booth in a boat.

"Everyone should come to cast his/her vote," says Nitish Kumar.

A local at the polling booth says,"We've been waiting for our turn to cast our vote, but Sushil ji just came,cast his vote & left.He's a VVIP.”

In the final leg of the campaign for the Bihar assembly poll, Prime Minister Modi will wind up his election tour of Bihar as he will today address rallies in Forbesganj and Saharsa.
