Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to address a rally later this month in Bihar, considered a stronghold of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his major ally RJD chief Lalu Prasad, to mark three years of the BJP-led NDA government of Narendra Modi.
BJP leaders are silent on whether Adityanath’s rally will be a show of strength ahead of Lalu’s ‘maha rally’ on August 27, which will be held to showcase a grand unity of non-BJP parties at the national level before the 2019 general elections.
After its shock defeat in the October-November 2015 Bihar assembly polls, BJP President Amit Shah has decided to use Adityanath as the new Hinduvta champion to challenge and counter the Lalu-Nitish nexus, party leaders say.
