Time for change: Kharge to voters in Bihar

NEW DELHI: (Nov 11) As voting for the second phase of Bihar polls got underway, Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Tuesday urged all the voters to come out and exercise their franchise in initiating a change in the state.

In a post on X, he described Bihar as the birthplace of democracy and said the state has suffered for the last 20 years due to an “opportunistic”, “corrupt” and “anti-poor” government and time has come for a change now.

“Bihar, the birthplace of democracy, has demonstrated in the first phase how enthusiastic its voters are for change. Today, in the second phase of voting, I urge you to cast your vote and encourage your relatives, friends, and neighbours to do the same,” he said in his post.
