The voting for the assembly by poll elections in Chhapra district of Bihar has begun today.
Janata Dal (United) (JD) (U), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress had reached to an understanding to contest 10 Assembly seats in Bihar together. They had officially announced entering into an alliance earlier this month.
Both the parties have drawn a lot of criticism from other political parties as prior to this alliance; the RJD and JDU had been in a constant conflict with each other.
The bye poll on 10 Bihar seats necessitated by the election of some MLAs to the Lok Sabha and resignation of others is being viewed as the "semi-final" before the crucial Assembly poll, due next year.
