Patna, January 5: A fresh round of poster war was witnessed between Lalu Prasad Yadav led Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Nitish Kumar's JD(U) on Sunday. Posters showing Lalu Prasad Yadav vs Nitish Kumar were put up around the vicinity of RJD's headquarters in Patna. The RJD posters came a day after JDU put up posters comparing the 15 years of Nitish's rule to that of Lalu Prasad and wife Rabri's in capital city of Patna. The Lalu vs Nitish posters are an attempt by RJD to make the Bihar Assembly Election 2020 a direct contest between the RJD and JD(U), thereby trying to render the BJP as an appendage to Nitish's JDU. Bihar Bandh Over CAA: RJD Workers Block Roads With Cattle, Burn Tyres and Raise Slogans Against Citizenship Amendment Act.
