To take on shining Nitish,Congress deploys some stars

In Bhojpuri film actor Ravi Kishan,the Congress has got another big name. He has been attracting huge crowds everywhere,especially with a line he famously coined during his stay in TV reality show Bigg Boss. Zindagi jhand ba,phir bhi ghamand ba Though there is little to be proud of in life,we still take pride in it. He refrains from attacking Nitish. Bihar has surely made progress,but the Congress has the potential to offer better development to Bihar, is Kishans campaign line.

His star in Bollywood may be on the decline but Chunky Pandey was also there,along with Kishan,in the first phase of polls in Araria. Both got such a big crowd at Araria that people clambering on the wooden platform to be seen with them brought down the stage.

Says Bihar Congress spokesperson Premchand Mishra: Even Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta had agreed to campaign for us,but they could not because of tight schedules. Another Bigg Boss celebrity,Monika Bedi came once for Banka Independent candidate Pappu Yadav.

Those banking on in-house star power include not just the BJP,but even LJP. His sons first film may not have released yet,but LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan is banking on Chirag to do the trick.

The RJDs Lalu Prasad Yadav apparently believes son Tejaswi alone can take on film stars,while for the JDU,CM Nitish Kumar is the biggest star.
