LJP Chief Chirag Paswan

Congress and the Lok Janshakti Party release their manifestos ahead of the Bihar polls.

LJP chief Chirag Paswan releasing the party's manifesto said, "Today, with the release of our party's manifesto for the Bihar assembly polls, I put forward our vision of 'Bihar 1st Bihari 1st' which will resolve various problems that the people of Bihar have been facing."

The Congress also released its manifesto. "Our 'Badlav Patr' talks about loan waiver, electricity bill waiver and increasing irrigation facilities for farmers. If our government comes to power in Bihar, we'll reject NDA govt's Farm Laws by bringing separate state Farm Bills as we did in Punjab," said Congress Leader, Shaktisinh Gohil.

Paswan, the Lok Janshakti Party chief, has broken away from the alliance and has fielded candidates against Nitish Kumar's JDU in several constituencies, forcing a triangular contest.

Bihar votes for a new assembly on October 28, November 3 and 7. The results will be declared on November 10.
