Nitish vs Tejashwi vs Chirag in Bihar: Poll promise, claims & shoe-throwing

Bihar elections: The Chirag Paswan-led LJP has disassociated itself with the NDA in Bihar and has put candidates against JD(U) nominees in many places. Chirag who had initially said he would go all out against the JD(U) only, has pitted nearly half-a-dozen nominees against the BJP too. While the BJP has called his party vote katua (vote cutter), he has advised them chose theirs words wisely. Meanwhile, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was attacked with slippers while campaigning for Congress candidate from Kutumba assembly seat in Bihar's Aurangabad district. While one slipper misses him completely, the other landed in his lap, a video clip of the incident shows. The 243-seat Bihar Assembly is set to go to polls in three phases - October 28, November 3 and November 7. The results will be announced on November 10. Watch the video to get a sense of poll preparations of political parties.
