Addressing a nomination rally in favour of BJP candidate from Danapur Ramkripal Yadav, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a sharp attack on the Opposition INDIA bloc while praising the NDA government. “Welfare of the poor has never been on the agenda of the RJD and Congress. Their only agenda is the welfare of their own families,” he said, adding that the NDA government is capable of curbing their corruption.

He further stated, “You must have seen in Uttar Pradesh how dreaded criminals involved in kidnapping rackets were once supported by RJD’s partners, spreading anarchy. Today, they are facing their downfall. The Modi government is providing housing to the poor, something the Congress could have done but didn’t.”

Later, he also addressed a nomination rally in Saharsa soliciting votes for BJP candidate Alok Ranjan Jha, who is contesting from this seat for the fourth consecutive time as BJP candidate.

Samrat Choudhary arrived in a procession to file his nomination in Tarapur. He was accompanied by Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai and a large number of NDA workers and supporters. Speaking on the occasion, he said his goal is to make Tarapur, along with the rest of Bihar, the most prosperous and progressive region. He emphasised that Bihar is ready to move forward on the path of development, trust, and good governance under the next chapter of the NDA government. A nomination rally was also organised afterward.

Later, Vishnu Deo Sai and BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad accompanied Nitin Navin, who filed nomination from Patna’s Bankipur constituency. After filing the papers, Navin exuded confidence, stating that he had worked for the people over the past five years, and hence was sure of regaining their trust. A nomination rally was held on this occasion.

As per the pre-scheduled programme, Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav addressed public meetings in Kumhrar and Vikram constituencies. Sanjay Gupta is contesting from Kumhrar while Siddharth Saurav is the BJP candidate from Vikram.

Uttar Pradesh Deputy CM Keshav Prasad Maurya addressed rallies in Khajauli and Jhanjharpur while Manoj Tiwari sought votes for NDA candidates in Kurhani and Amanour.
