Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Tuesday demonstrated that he was neither tired nor in a mood to retire as he turned up at the JD(U)'s war room in Patna to take stock of the final phase of the assembly polls that were underway. The JD(U) president, who has been in the seat of power longer than any of his predecessors, reached the party office shortly after a meeting with Union minister Rajiv Ranjan Singh 'Lalan', one of his most trusted aides. The 75-year-old is understood to have been buoyed by reports that his party, which had suffered a setback in the 2020 assembly polls, was poised for a better-than-expected performance this time.

He said that the people have "annulled the dirty tricks of the NDA" meant to mislead them. Tejashwi said, "My dream is the same as yours. Your pain is the same as mine. Our goals are the same, which no outsider to Bihar can truly understand." "It's already too late. In the last 20
