Ahead of the 2020 Bihar Vidhan Sabha polls, a poster war has begun in the state.

Poster comparing the 15 years governance of Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United (JDU) was seen outside the Income Tax intersection here in Patna on Thursday morning.

The fight between the RJD and JDU has come to the fore with a poster, seeking the work account of 15 years of both the parties in Bihar.

The poster has been installed at the Income Tax intersection in Patna to attract the attention of the public.

In Vidhan Sabha elections, both in 2004 and 2009 JD(U) won more seats than BJP," Kishor told ANI.Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) and BJP fought the 2019 Lok Sabha election together. They fought the 2010 Assembly elections together but fell out of the alliance later.Assembly elections are expected to be held in Bihar in the last quarter of 2020.
