Ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections scheduled to be held later this year, the Congress has announced that it will be holding virtual rallies across the state from September 1.

The development comes in the wake of the arrival of top BJP leaders in Bihar after September 6 in view of the upcoming elections.

Earlier, Congress Rajya Sabha MP from Bihar and Congress Campaign Committee Chief Akhilesh Prasad Singh had said that the seat-sharing in Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) has still not been finalised but added that all smaller allies like Left front, RLSP, HAM will be adjusted.

It was reported that left parties, especially the Communist Party of India (CPI), CPI(M) and CPI(ML), are ready for an alliance with the Mahagathbandhan to "defeat the NDA" in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.

On August 27, left party leaders had met RJD state president Jagdanand Singh and discussed a greater unity between the Opposition Grand Alliance and the Left parties for the Bihar poll.

Bharatiya Janata Party chief JP Nadda has already said that BJP, Janata Dal (United), and Lok Janshakti Party will fight elections together and win the upcoming Assembly elections in Bihar.

"BJP, JDU, and LJP will fight elections together and win. We have to add value not only to BJP but to our alliance partners also," Nadda said addressing Bihar BJP State Karyasamiti via video conferencing earlier this month.

The party, aiming to retain power in the state, had recently appointed former Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis to go to the state ahead of the final leg of the preparatory phase for the elections.

Bihar has 243 Assembly constituencies and elections in the state are due in October-November as the tenure of the current Assembly is scheduled to end on November 29. The Election Commission has not yet taken a final call on poll dates in Bihar due to coronavirus pandemic and has sought suggestions from political parties.
