Congress leader M Veerappa Moily stated that anti-incumbency against Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the double-engine government was riding high, and people would go against them in the upcoming assembly polls.

We will be fighting against the BJP and their combinations. The last 20 years, the same Chief Minister, the same combination. People understand poverty in the country. They understand their suffering. This will go against them, and anti-incumbency is riding high against Nitish Kumar and his government, Moily told ANI.
