RJD supremo Lalu Prasad and Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar are not only rivals in the political turf war but also fighting on the covers of pichkaris in Bihar.
Pichkaris carrying photos of Lalu Prasad, Nitish Kumar are in heavy demand among the Holi revellers. Top cricketers and bollywood stars also continue to be popular in the market. The pichkari-makers have also put on display the pichkaris of MS Dhoni, bollywood actress Bipasha Basu and others to encash on their popularity.
Pichkaris shaped as guns, grenades, rocket-launchers with flashing lights as well as the traditional ones with prices ranging from Rs 10-1,000 have flooded the market. Lalu-Bholu pichkaris in the shape of rocket-launchers and deadly weapons are in high demand, said Roshan Kumar, a shopowner.
