Eyeing voters from Bihar and Purvanchal, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will tomorrow campaign for JD(U) candidates in the Delhi municipal elections scheduled for April 23.
This will be the JD(U) president's maiden campaign in the national capital for the local polls and underlines the party's drift from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal-led AAP.
JD(U) General Secretary Javed Raza said his party will go all out to woo voters, especially those from the two states, as they have been let down by the poor governance in the city.
Kumar will campaign in Burari and Badarpur, two places with sizable population from the two states.
JD(U), which is in power under Kumar in Bihar since 2005, is contesting 113 seats out of 272 in the MCD polls.
The party believes that a respectable performance will boost Kumar's national ambitions.
