NDA takes a jibe at MGB after loss

As NDA registered victory in Bihar Elections 2020, posters have come up in Patna - with caricatures of Nitish Kumar and Prime Minister Narendra Modi - stating "Bihar mein e ba". This year's poll campaign witnessed political parties launching a number of songs in an attempt to counter each other's narrative. BJP had released a Bhojpuri song named "Bihar me e ba" as a response to questions raised about what developmental works has the party done in the state. The song was seen as a response to the Bhojpuri rap song on the migrant crisis by actor Manoj Bajpayee "Bambai me ka ba". Later, RJD also came up with another song posing the same question.
