Along with him, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Home Minister Amit Shah, Defense Minister Rajnath Singh and Nitin Gadkari will also participate in the campaign.

Trouble over seats in grand alliance

The opposition grand alliance has not yet been able to finalize the seat sharing. Although Congress and some other parties have announced candidates, the strategy is still incomplete. JMM has further complicated the alliance by saying that it will contest alone on six seats. Congress released its second list on October 18, which includes many prominent candidates.
