As part of preparations for the Bihar Assembly elections scheduled later this year, Maharashtra Pradesh Congress Committee (MPCC) has decided to set up a 'Bihar election committee' to mobilise Biharis settled in various parts of the state.
A meeting was held recently to discuss the mobilisation of Biharis residing in large numbers in the Mumbai-Thane belt.
MPCC vice-president and spokesman Hussain Dalwai told PTI that the committee would comprise seven to eight members. They would reach out to the Bihari population settled in Maharashtra and utilise them for campaigning in the polls.
MPCC president Manikrao Thakre, while speaking at the meeting, stressed the need for Congress to form the next government in Bihar so that infrastructure development which has begun with the funds from central government is expedited at the earliest.
