Patna, September 28: Union Education Minister and BJP's in-charge for the upcoming Bihar elections Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday met Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary and JD(U) Executive President Sanjay Kumar Jha in Patna.

Pradhan has been made the BJP's in-charge for the upcoming Bihar elections. He is being assisted by two co in-charges, Union Jal Shakti Minister CR Patil and Uttar Pradesh Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya.

“Today, in Patna, I had a pleasant meeting with Chief Minister Shri @NitishKumar ji, Deputy Chief Minister Shri @samrat4bjp ji, and JD(U) Executive President Shri @SanjayJhaBihar ji,” tweeted Pradhan.

The election dates for Bihar are expected to be announced next month.

Pradhan is considered as a sharp political strategist with a consistent record of delivering electoral victories in challenging terrains. His recent stint in Haryana has significantly boosted his standing within the party. Over the years, he has also played leading roles in election campaigns in Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Uttarakhand.

This is not the first time Pradhan has been involved in Bihar politics. He served as co-incharge during the 2010 Bihar Assembly elections.

Bihar election will be a closely watched political contest, with all 243 seats in the State's Legislative Assembly electing their representatives.

The election will be fought on various issues ranging from development to law and order, pitting Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's governance record against Tejashwi Yadav's social justice push.
