This special report focuses on the escalating political battle in Bihar over election manifestos, with the NDA releasing its 'Sankalp Patra' and the Mahagathbandhan challenging its promises. Key figures discussed include RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. Tejashwi Yadav dismissed the ruling alliance's promises, stating, 'NDA should release a ‘sorry patra’ instead and apologise to the 14 crore people of Bihar. The state is the poorest despite their 20-year rule'. The report covers the NDA's attempt to project a united front with its five constituent parties, termed the 'Panch Pandav', countering opposition claims of a rift. It examines the core promises of the manifestos, including job creation and women's empowerment, which have become central to the high-stakes election campaign.
