Political rush to Bihar for relief post earthquake and cyclone

PATNA: The visitation of the twin disasters of cyclone and earthquake —in quick succession— in Bihar has come at a time when the state assembly elections are just five months away prompting leaders both from the BJP and ruling JD(U) leaders to pitch aggressively on relief operation front.

The BJP in particular is seen proactively engaged in the relief operations even as one union minister after another headed for Raxaual , the border town where relief camps have been set up. From the ruling JD(U), it is Nitish Kumar who has take the burden all by himself.
