Background

Bihar will go for the first phase of voting on October 28, the stage is set and all the parties are on the chessboard noticing every move and planning their next. On one side Prime Minister Narendra Modi held 3 rallies to pitch for the incumbent CM Nitish Kumar and on the other hand, Tejashwi Yadav and Rahul Gandhi have not only been attacking the Nitish government's disaster management policy but also the Centre's action on China after Bihar lost many soldiers in the Galwan valley scuffle.

BJP released its manifesto 2 days ago which also stirred a huge controversy regarding their claims to provide free Covid vaccine to Bihar. When ABP News spoke to the people of Bihar they started raising questions like will the vaccine be free only for Bihar? If NDA doesn't come to power, will they provide the free vaccine, and what about other states?

ABP News conducted a survey along with C-Voter to know the mood of the people after listening to every party's promises, while some did not believe in BJP's vaccine promise, others questioned Tejashwi promise of providing 10 lakh jobs. Many raised basic issues of the state which Bihar has been dealing since ages.
