“There is a big gap in the elections, there are so many festivals, no rallies have been curtailed,” he added.

“The BJP has been deflated. They are bringing Hema Malini now, as if she will get victory for them,” said RJD Chief Lalu Prasad. Mr Prasad’s son and the party’s candidate from Raghopur, Tejaswi Yadav, said, “The BJP is trying to decide whom they should pin the loss on.”
