Political Tensions Rise in Bihar Amid Election Posters Controversy

As Bihar gears up for elections, a controversy brews over missing figures on political posters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi criticizes RJD for omitting Lalu Prasad Yadav from campaign visuals, while RJD's Misa Bharti accuses BJP of political games. Congress echoes concerns over Nitish Kumar's role in BJP rallies.

The political landscape in Bihar intensifies as accusations fly concerning notable omissions from election posters. Prime Minister Narendra Modi, addressing a rally in Katihar, highlighted the absence of Lalu Prasad Yadav's image from the RJD's campaign visuals, suggesting a potential rift between RJD and its ally, Congress.

RJD leader Misa Bharti hit back, asserting that the Prime Minister's focus on Lalu Yadav's photographs underscores BJP's enduring anxiety about the former Chief Minister. She criticized Modi's remarks about 'katta', contrasting them with opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav's focus on employment for youth.

Further fueling the controversy, Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge questioned the absence of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar from BJP events, accusing Modi of marginalizing his NDA ally. This political drama unfolds as Bihar prepares for its Assembly elections set for November 6 and 11.
