Overview

• Addressing BJP workers in Seemanchal and Samastipur, Shah urged door-to-door outreach and tasked cadres with thrice-weekly motorcycle marches and outreach to panchayat runners-up.
• Shah said the Election Commission’s special intensive revision of Bihar’s rolls did not delete bona fide citizens as he linked the opposition’s Voter Adhikar Yatra to efforts to secure voting rights for 'infiltrators'.
• He pressed for a two-thirds majority in the assembly, asking workers to help the NDA cross 160 seats and to 'conquer' traditionally tougher districts such as Kishanganj.
• Organisational planning moved forward with Union minister Dharmendra Pradhan named BJP’s Bihar in-charge and senior leader BL Santhosh joining strategy huddles in Patna.
• Framing the contest around welfare and probity, Shah touted income gains and accused Congress and RJD of past corruption while reiterating that Nitish Kumar would lead the NDA into the polls.
