Months after it began its outreach to migrant Biharis, the BJP has devised a novel way to step up its efforts to connect with them in a bid to persuade them to return home and vote in the upcoming state Assembly polls.

As a part of this new exercise, about 150 state BJP leaders, armed with a list of 14 questions, have been traveling through the country in order to reach out to non-resident Biharis, who are estimated to number around 2.75 crore.

According to Bihar BJP spokesperson Manoj Sharma, the possibility of migrant Biharis returning to the state to vote is high as the polls are likely to be held in October this year, around the Chhath Puja, one of the main festivals of the state, during which the state sees a return of lakhs of migrants.
