Khesari Lal Yadav’s Grand Entry in Bihar Polls; PM Modi Counters Mahagathbandhan in Rally

The Bihar Assembly elections have taken a dramatic turn with the entry of Bhojpuri superstar Khesari Lal Yadav, who is contesting from Chhapra as the RJD candidate against BJP’s Chhoti Kumari. His campaign launch turned into a spectacle as supporters welcomed him with a 200-litre milk bath and showered him with ₹5 lakh worth of coins. The streets were packed with enthusiastic fans chanting “Khesari Bhaiya Zindabad,” reflecting the actor’s massive fan following that has now spilled into politics.Meanwhile, the Chhapra seat has emerged as one of the hottest battlegrounds in the Bihar polls, with the RJD banking on Khesari’s popularity among youth and rural voters. However, political debates have intensified over Mahagathbandhan’s MY (Muslim-Yadav) equation, following remarks from local leaders and growing scrutiny of alliance dynamics.On the other side, Prime Minister Narendra Modi kicked off the BJP’s campaign from Samastipur, paying tribute to Jan Nayak Karpoori Thakur at his ancestral village. Sharing the stage with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, PM Modi launched a fiery attack on the Mahagathbandhan, calling it an “Atak, Latak, Bhatak, and Patak Dal.”With both camps going all-out, Bihar’s political temperature has soared, promising an electrifying election season.
