New Delhi: Senior BJP leader and Home Minister Amit Shah will hold a virtual rally in Bihar on Sunday, in what is being seen as the launch of party’s campaign for assembly polls, slated for October-November. This is Amit Shah’s first virtual rally amid the Coronavirus pandemic.

The party is pulling out all stops to make the event a success.

Though this ‘virtual rally’ is part of the BJP’s over month-long campaign to highlight the achievements of the Modi government after it completed the first year of its second term on May 30, Shah is expected to dwell in length over the upcoming assembly polls in which his party is in alliance with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) and Union minister Ram Vilas Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party.

RJD calls it ‘political vulturism’

However, the RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav slammed Union Home Minister Amit Shah ahead of his virtual rally in Bihar and said electioneering amidst the coronavirus crisis in the country is nothing but ‘political vulturism’. He also alleged that the saffron party was only interested in electoral victory even at the cost of human lives.

He also accused the Nitish Kumar govt giving “step-motherly” treatment to migrant labourers and asserted that this would be a major issue in the assembly polls slated for later this year.
