CHIRAG’S POWER PLAY

September 4, a day after former Bihar chiefLok Janshakti Party put out a full-page newspaper ad, claiming exalted status for their leader. Manjhi’s party then put out posters in Patna with a ‘First Bihar: Nitish Kumar’ punchline. The line was not the only putdown of Chirag’s ‘Bihar First, Bihari First’ campaign; Manjhi’s posters show various NDA leaders but Chirag is conspicuously absent.
