Bihar elections 2020: UP CM Yogi Adityanath addresses a public rally in Balmiki Nagar, West Champaran

Tejashwi is not only tirelessly campaigning for RJD candidates but is also dedicatedly canvassing for his allies as his crowd-pulling abilities have made him the most sought-after campaigner among the candidates fielded by Congress, or Left contestants. On Saturday, Tejashwi held 17 public rallies, breaking his previous record as well as that of his father Lalu Prasad, whose record was 16 rallies in a day.

"When Tejashwi's father Lalu Prasad was in power, he also promised to give one lakh jobs. RJD leaders extorted money from job aspirants but threw their applications in dustbins," MoS for Health and Family Welfare Ashwini Kumar Chaubey claimed. The Minister of State for Health and Family Welfare also said that a vaccine for coronavirus had entered the third phase of human trial.

"One can clearly see, BJP-JDU-HAM-VIP will form a government with a clear two-thirds majority so there is no question of fewer seats. Even if we get more seats, Nitish Kumarji will still be our leader," Nadda said. Nadda said people know RJD's character is that of "jungle raj". He said people remember Lalu Yadav's "misgovernance" and Nitish Kumar's "good governance" and they want development.

“That person who couldn't even clear his class 10th exam. He can’t even spell the word ‘Cabinet’ correctly, but is criticizing CM Nitish Kumar who is a qualified engineer,” said BJP leader and Union minister Ashwini Kumar Choubey taking a dig at Tejashwi. While addressing an election rally in Bihar a few days back, PM Modi launched a sharp attack on Tejashwi, asking electors to beware of the "yuvraaj of jungle raj" (the crown prince of bad rule), and alleged Tejashwi’s party had the "copyright over kidnappings".

Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar announced relief on Saturday for beneficiaries of the state government’s student credit card scheme (SCCS), promising to waive education loans provided under the scheme if a student was not in a position to repay. “I always tell people to help your children pursue higher education. The government is giving this money (Rs 4 lakh) for pursuing higher education. Lekin agar lautane ki sthiti mein nahi honge to maaf kar diya jayega,” the CM said.

Schedule for PM's rallies: Chapra (10am), Samastipur (11:45am), Motihari (1:30pm), Bagaha (3:15pm)
