  How '20 -30 lakh' people were forced to migrate: JP Nadda Tejaswi's job promise.

  On Monday, BJP president JP Nadda addressed Tejaswi Yadav's promise of 10 lakh government jobs, saying, "25-30 lakh people have left Bihar during the last RJD government and it should respond first."

  Speaking at a public meeting in Sitamarhi, the former Union Minister mentioned that he was reminding the people of the alleged mistakes made during the 15-year rule of the RJD because times may change but the nature of the party has not changed.  Tejaswi has promised to sign 10 lakh government jobs in his first cabinet meeting when his party comes to power.

  ‘Nowadays our Tejaswi Babu keeps saying that he will give 10 lakh jobs,’ Nadda said, and then lashed out, saying, ‘You have forced 25 lakh people to leave Bihar.  Who will answer?  '

  JP Nadda Interview: Tejaswi has become a tutor, can't be distributed ... People know there has been no change in RJD character

  "(At Tejaswi's rally) It's not a crowd. It's committed to a special style of voters, who have been associated with them for 20 years. The same people, the same supporters ... people know that the same thing will happen if they come again," Nadda said.

  Nadda added, "Nitesh is being compared to Nitish. And Nitish is a person who talks hard ... and believes in good governance. He doesn't expect anything from Tejaswi either. People know that Tejaswi was in Delhi in full force."

  Tejaswi, Nitish Kumar's four ministerial candidates in the 2nd phase

  The stage will be decided for the second time and is immediately the most important of the three phases of the Bihar Assembly elections, where more than 2.85 crore voters cast their ballots on Tuesday to determine the fate of about 1,500 candidates.  Voting will take place in 94 assembly constituencies on November 3, with more than a third of the 243 strong rallies spread across 17 districts, three of which were - Patna, Bhagalpur and Nalanda - north of the Ganges.

  Notable among the candidates is Tejaswi Yadav, the chief ministerial candidate of the RJD's opposition grand alliance, who is aggressively seeking cash against the opposition system against the Nitish Kumar government.

  The 31-year-old wants re-election from Raghopur in Vaishali district after he returned to his party from BJP's Satish Kumar in 2015.  BJP leader Yadav's mother Rabri Devi defeated the former chief minister in 2010.  The BJP retains confidence in Satish Kumar, hoping it will be able to repeat itself in 2010, when JD (U) president and chief minister Nitish Kumar was an NDA ally.

  In the seat represented by Lalu Prasad, the murder accused was once in the hands of Bikash

  Despite the Nitish Kumar-led NDA alliance's efforts to maintain law and order during Lalu Prasad's 15-year rule, the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan has so far sought to keep the campaign centered on development politics and has promised tens of millions of jobs to Tejaswi Yadav's youth.  However, the Danapur contest - where BJP MLA Asha Devi Sinha, RJD's Ritlal Yadav, among those accused of killing her husband Satyanarayana Sinha in 2003 - will fight the issue.

  Ritlal, who is accused of 33 counts of murder, attempted murder, extortion, and a provision in the Arms Act, was jailed in 2010 in a murder case.  He has been acquitted in eight of these cases and is out on bail.

  This time in her campaign, Sinha reminds people of her husband's murder and asks them to vote for 'peace'.  "I am just urging people to be aware of the peace process," he said.  Although there are problems like waterlogging in this seat, the main concern is to restrain politicians like Ritlal.  In this election, I am fighting against my husband's alleged killer, ”she told a rally in Danapur on October 31.
