The issue of migration is once again taking centre stage in the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. Rashtriya Janata Dal바카라™s (RJD) Tejashwi Yadav launched a campaign two years ago highlighting the exodus from the state. More recently, the Congress바카라™ Kanhaiya Kumar undertook a month-long march advocating 바카라˜Stop Migration, Provide Jobs바카라™. Political strategist Prashant Kishor has consistently labelled migration as Bihar바카라™s most pressing problem in his rallies.
According to many reports, migration from Bihar paints a grim picture. The state has been termed as the second state, after Uttar Pradesh, from where maximum migration takes place.
