Lalu, Nitish to kick off joint campaign today
Patna, Aug 11 (IBNS): Janata Dal-United (JD-U) leader Nitish Kumar and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) chief Lalu Prasad Yadav are set to begin their joint political campaign on Monday.
The duo, both former chief ministers of Bihar, is expected to address two public rallies at Hajipur and Mohadi Nagar together, almost after 20 years since they parted ways.
They are also likely to continue the joint campaign next week in the wake of by-elections for 10 assembly seats scheduled to be held on August 21.
The parties entered into a seat-sharing agreement along with the Congress in which both JD-U and RJD will contest in four seats each leaving two to the Congress in the state.
The by-elections in 10 assembly seats are being seen as the semi-finals with all eyes on the state polls scheduled next year.
