Bihar Chief Minister and Janata Dal United leader Nitish Kumar has, time and again, said he was neither religious nor an atheist. But today, he will take a break from hectic campaigning and meet supporters at his residence. His ally and Rashtriya Janata Dal leader Lalu Prasad had earlier told some journalists that for him it was "no politics on Thursday; it is Durga Puja". After celebrating Dussehra in Delhi, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) President Amit Shah is expected to return to Bihar on Friday. So will former deputy chief minister Sushil Modi, Lok Janshakti Party chief and Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan and former Bihar chief minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) President Jitan Ram Manjhi. With most parts of India celebrating Dussehra and the final day of Durga Puja today, the star campaigners of the Bihar Assembly elections plan to take it easy.
