there are thousands and millions of people in government hospitals suffering from various ailments without having proper treatment and corruptions, does someone seriously cares from Government authorities? where is the fund which is budgeted. Whereas it is a naked truth that, how things are being manipulated by the authorities. When a political leader gets out from Hospital it becomes viral, what a big shame. Don't ever underestimate the power of a common man. God willing, that days are not far when common man will lead the country and the verdicts will be absolutely impartial for every citizens of India, whether he is a leader or a beggar. Then we will call \Of the people, By the people and For the people\"."

New Delhi, Jul 11: Poll strategist Prashant Kishor took a swipe at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Saturday, saying this is time to fight the coronavirus not elections and that he should not endanger people's lives in a "hurry" to hold the assembly polls.

"The coronavirus situation in Bihar is worsening like it is in many other states of the country. But a big part of government machinery and resources are busy making preparation for the polls.

"Nitish Kumar ji, this isn't time to fight elections but the coronavirus. Don't endanger people's lives in this hurry to hold the polls," he tweeted.

Kishor, once a confidant of the JD(U) president before he turned a critic and was expelled from the party, joins leaders like LJP chief Chirag Paswan and RJD's Tejashwi Yadav in suggesting that the Bihar assembly polls should be deferred due to the pandemic.

Polls in Bihar are due in October-November but the Election Commission has so far not made any official announcement about its schedule.

The BJP and the JD(U) have been holding organisational meetings and said that they are ready for the elections.
