Lalu Yadav Bihar Polls

Laughing off arch-rival Lalu Yadav's challenge for the October 30 bypolls in Bihar, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has said the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) patriarch can get him "shot", but "can't do anything else".

Weathered by old age and ill-health, RJD president Lalu Yadav on Sunday returned to his home turf of Bihar from where imprisonment in fodder scam cases had kept him away for three years.

Praising RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, BJP leader Uma Bharti on Wednesday asserted that though age is on his side, he is not experienced enough to run a state and ultimately "Lalu would have been at the helm" of Bihar.

RJD chief Lalu Yadav, who is serving a jail term in Ranchi in fodder scam cases, Monday wished his younger son Tejashwi Yadav on his 31st birthday, saying the people of Bihar will give him a gift on Tuesday, when state election results are announced.

The counting of votes polled in the Bihar assembly elections will be held today, with most pollsters predicting a landslide for the five-party Grand Alliance led by the young RJD leader, Tejashwi Yadav.

Former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Yadav's bail hearing in a fodder scam case was deferred today to November 27 as the CBI didn't file its arguments before the Jharkhand High Court.

More than the electoral battle, the Parsa assembly segment in Saran district is witnessing a fight playing out between the families of two Yadav giants of Bihar politics -- Lalu Prasad and Chandrika Roy.

Tejashwi Yadav is going from one region to another daily to drum up support for the Grand Alliance so that he could become Chief Minister of Bihar, but winning his own seat won't be easy as is up against an experienced BJP rival in Raghopur constituency, one who is backed by Nitish Kumar too.

BJP president JP Nadda today threw "mind lock" jibe at RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, criticising him over his constant "landlocked Bihar" swipe at NDA ally and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
