SaralnamaWhat happened in Bihar's election campaign? Where did it occur? When did it take place? Tejashwi Yadav was named the Chief Minister candidate and Mukesh Sahani the Deputy CM face by the Mahagathbandhan alliance in Bihar. Prime Minister Modi held rallies in Samastipur and Begusarai, praising Nitish Kumar's work but not declaring him the NDA's CM candidate. Urdu newspapers saw this as a possible game-changer, potentially consolidating support among backward and minority groups. They also urged Tejashwi to ensure fair Muslim representation in power structures, given their 17-18% population share in Bihar. The Election Commission announced a Special Intensive Revision of electoral rolls in 12 states and Union Territories, to be held between November and February.
