It wouldn’t be wrong to say that stage is already set for Bihar’s 2020 Assembly election. Amid poster war between the Rashtriya Janata Dal and the Janata Dal (United), now, former chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav has launched a slogan targeting the Bihar CM Nitish Kumar.
Taking to Twitter on Saturday, the jailed-RJD chief Lalu Yadav posted a slogan, stating its 2020, and it is the time to remove Nitish.


RJD supremo Lalu Prasad might be behind the bars completing his sentence in the Fodder Scam, but that doesn’t prevent him from remaining active in Bihar’s politics.
In 2015, to stop the BJP’s victory march, Nitish Kumar and Lalu Yadav joined hands, formed the Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) and won the election with RJD emerging as the single-largest party and Nitish Kumar becoming the chief minister.
However, by 2017, differences between the two parties soured to the extent that Nitish Kumar ditched RJD and joined hands with the BJP to form a new government.
Talking about the poster war, while the JD(U) praises the 15-year rule of Nitish Kumar as Bihar’s chief minister as an era of progress and development, the RJD terms this tenure as one marred with corruption and ‘jungle raj’.
Earlier in September, Nitish Kumar’s party had introduced that stated: “Kyun Kare Vichar, Thikke toh hai Nitish Kumar.” (Why to think, Nitish Kumar is good.) Following this, the RJD claimed that JDU has accepted its defeat calling Nitish just a “fine” leader.
he Nitish Kumar led party, thereafter made modifications in its slogan and the new slogan read as: “Kyu kare vichaar jab hai hi Nitish Kumar (Why to think when we have Nitish Kumar.
With a total of 243 seats in Bihar assembly, the state goes to polls next year. Currently, the JD(U) holds 69 seats while the BJP holds 54 seats in the assembly. The Opposition consisting of RJD, Congress and others, hold 105 seats.
