Congress spokesperson Jaiveer Shergill in his official Twitter account wrote, "BJP would be the only political party in the world which thinks Covid Vaccine is an election lollipop instead of life saving measure to be administered as matter of right and not matter of conditional political privilege. BJP vicious mentality needs cure along with Covid.
In a series of tweets, the Congress spokesperson raised question on the fate of other states which don't go to poll in the next three-four years.
On the other hand, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) also took note of the Covid vaccination promise and took a swipe at the BJP saying, that the corona vaccine belongs to the country, not the BJP. 'The political use of the vaccine shows that they have no choice but to sell their fear of disease and death. Bihari's are self-respecting, they do not sell their children's future for a small amount,' it said.
The ruling party at the Centre, BJP has unveiled the '5 Phases, 1 goal, 11 promises' to woo the voters in the state. The party has promised to provide 19 lakh jobs to the Bihar residents countering the RJD's manifesto which promised 10 lakh jobs which have been consistently criticized by the Nitish government.The BJP is contesting the Bihar polls as part of the National Democratic Alliance, along with the Janata Dal (United) and other parties.Bihar goes to polls on October 28, November 03, and 07.
