Opposition INDIA bloc leaders, including the grouping's chief ministerial face Tejashwi Yadav, Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra and Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav, addressed rallies across poll-bound Bihar on Saturday, exhorting electors to choose the bloc over the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) as they slammed the ruling bloc over alleged rampant crime and corruption in the state.

Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Yadav, addressing rallies in Raghunathpur, Goriakothi and Raghopur, urged people to vote for the Opposition Grand Alliance to liberate the state from the NDA dispensation of 20 years during which “crime and corruption” had become rampant. He promised a “new Bihar” with industries to curb migration, restoring education and health infrastructure neglected over 20 NDA years. “I’m young, but true to my word—jobs for every jobless household within 20 months,” Yadav said.
