Bihar polls: Ground reports from Vaishali, Begusarai's Bachhwara

This special report from Bihar's Begusarai district highlights two stark realities: the deplorable condition of a government primary school in Vaishali and a fractured political landscape in the Bachhwara constituency. The focus is on the Mahagathbandhan's internal conflict, where allies Congress and the CPI have fielded candidates against each other, potentially benefiting the BJP. The report explores the ground reality where a school for 200 children lacks drinking water, toilets, and adequate classrooms, forcing students to sit outside near a busy highway.
