Lalu, Nitish to share dias today

After a gap of 20 years, RJD chief Lalu Prasad and JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar, friends-turned-foes who have become friends again, will campaign together for the Assembly by-polls in Bihar from Monday.

Both of them will hold five public meetings at Hajipur, Mohiuddinagar, Narkatiyaganj, Chapra and Mohania as part of campaign for the by-elections in 10 seats scheduled for 21 August.

Lifting the suspense over whether Prasad and Kumar will campaign together for the candidates of RJD-JD(U)-Congress alliance, RJD state chief Ram Chandra Purvey said the two would start the joint campaign from Hajipur on Monday.

‘Prasad and Kumar will embark on the joint election campaign together from Hajipur in favour of JD(U) candidate Rajendra Rai who is presently an MLC.
