RJD's Ritlal Yadav, currently lodged in jail, files nomination, says, "people of Danapur are with me"

Patna (Bihar) [India], October 17 (ANI): Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) MLA and candidate from the Danapur assembly constituency, Ritlal Yadav, who is currently lodged in jail, arrived in a jail van on Thursday to file his nomination papers.
Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Ritlal Yadav said, "...The people of Danapur are with me. The public understands that I have been deliberately framed. But I have full faith in the court and I will get justice..."
The NDA has fielded former MP Ramkripal Yadav from the Danapur seat.
Meanwhile, in another development ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Bhojpuri actor and singer Khesari Lal Yadav, along with his wife Chanda Devi, joined the RJD on Thursday.

Welcoming them to the party, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav reiterated his promise to bring in a law ensuring a government job for every household in Bihar.
Tejashwi Yadav said, "Singer Khesari Lal Yadav, along with his wife Chanda Devi, has joined RJD today. We have to build a new Bihar. Bihar should be free of migration. Unemployment should be eradicated from its roots. Inflation and poverty should end. Factories should be set up. Investment should come. The existing medical system should improve. Now, my dream is to eliminate unemployment from Bihar."
He further said, "My age is less, but my words are firm (umr kacchi hai, par zubaan pakki hai). Together, we'll form a new government. And after November 14th, within 20 days, a law will be enacted, providing a government job to every family in Bihar that doesn't have a government job. This is our resolve, and as soon as we form the government, we'll work to fulfil it within 20 months."
Expressing his motivation for joining the RJD, singer Khesari Lal Yadav said, "I have always strived to ensure that just as I am raising my children in Mumbai, providing them with good schools and hospitals, the future of the children of Bihar should be as secure as ours, and our children should not have to go to other states. So a change is needed, and I want to contribute to that change."
He added, "I have always been a part of this family and have always received my uncle's blessings. I have received the blessings of Rabri Mata, Didi, and Bhaiya. Not just me, I believe the whole of Bihar wants change, and I should contribute to that change."
Polling for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly is scheduled to take place on November 6 and November 11, with counting of votes on November 14. (ANI)
