Bihar election LIVE: Back BJP where LJP isn’t in fray, says Chirag Paswan

Bihar election 2020 LIVE updates: Campaigning for the first phase of the Bihar Assembly elections ends today. In an early morning tweet, Chirag Paswan said, “I request you all to vote for LJP candidates where they are contesting to implement ‘Bihar 1st, Bihari 1st’ and in the rest of the places, vote for BJP. The next government will be a Nitish-free government.” Meanwhile, Times Now-CVoter opinion poll shows the NDA is on course for a comfortable victory in the state.
