Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Tejashwi Yadav, who has made unemployment in Bihar a major poll issue, released the party poll manifesto today reiterating his promise of 10 lakh jobs and better health infrastructure.
He also hit out at the Bharatiya Janata Party for trying to "fool people". "Our promise for 10 lakh jobs is genuine, we could have also made fake promises of 50 lakh jobs like the NDA government," Mr Yadav, the chief ministerial face of the Grand Alliance, said today.
The state is going to vote on October 28, November 3 and November 7, and the results will be announced on November 10.
Here are the updates on Bihar Assembly Elections 2020:
Even though the female voters are nearly equal to the male voters in Bihar when it comes to contesting elections, the ratio changes drastically.
According to the data shared by the Election Commission, out of a total of 1,066 contestants in the fray in the first phase of Bihar Assembly elections, only 144 females have been given tickets from the political parties, translating to a meager 13.5 per cent of all contestants.
According to Bihar's electoral profile, there are over 3.8 crore male voters and more than 3.4 crore female voters.
However, in the 2015 assembly elections, 273 women were given tickets, out of which 28 won, which means that 11.52 percent of female candidates made it to the Legislative Assembly.
15 वर्ष पूर्व जिस बिहार में शिक्षा, कानून व्यवस्था एवं अर्थव्यवस्था की स्थिति बेहद खराब थी, आज हमारे नेता ने गुड गवर्नेंस के साथ उसी बिहार में विकास को नया आयाम दिया है। हमने एक विकसित बिहार का स्वप्न देखा है, जिसे हम अवश्य पूरा करेंगे।#VoteForNitish pic.twitter.com/nZNwgdNyOZ

मुख्यमंत्री नीतीश कुमार संपूर्ण बिहार में किसी एक ऐसे थाने और प्रखंड कार्यालय का नाम बतायें जहां बिना चढ़ावे यानि बिना रिश्वत के कोई कार्य होता है?
अगर मेरी बात गलत और इसमें कोई संदेह है तो अपने भाषण में ज़रा एक बार पब्लिक से पूछ लीजिएगा। जवाब मिल जाएगा।
