The candidate list seems well-balanced across states. Hoping these representatives will focus on real issues like inflation and job creation in the Rajya Sabha, not just politics.

High-profile visits before elections are standard, but I wish there was more focus on their actual work plan for Bihar. What will they deliver for our state's development? That's what matters.
