Bihar: There is a lot of politics going on in the country right now over the BJP’s slogan ‘If we get divided, we will be cut off, if we are united, we will be safe’. In return to this slogan of NDA, India has given the slogan ‘If we join, we will win’. The series of such slogans is still going on. However, in Bihar, NDA seems to be divided over these slogans.

Khalid Anwar said, ‘JDU has not mortgaged its ideology. We have formed an alliance with BJP for the development of the country including Bihar. We respect all religions. Our party has always worked hard for the country to remain united and move forward. There are assembly elections in Maharashtra, we are fighting on two seats in the NDA in Jharkhand. There are by-elections on four seats in Bihar. Nitish has worked for all sections. We are asking for votes on the basis of Nitish Kumar’s work.’
‘JDU takes everyone along’
