The future of Bihar is now in your hands, defeat this conspiracy of ‘vote theft, government theft’. Following the path of truth and non-violence, save democracy with your vote, awaken Bihar.

My young friends of Bihar,
My Gen-Z brothers and sisters,

Tomorrow is not just a voting day,
Rather, it is the day to decide the future direction of Bihar.

Many of you are going to vote for the first time – it’s not just your right,
Rather, it is the biggest responsibility of democracy.

You saw, Haryana… pic.twitter.com/PpDhlmKsoB
