With the pandemic restricting movement and the number of physical meetings and rallies meant for Bihar polls, the Election Commission (EC) on Friday increased the broadcast time allotted to recognised political parties on Doordarshan and All India Radio to aid campaigning.

Each recognised national and regional party will be given at least 90 minutes of airtime.

“A base time of 90 minutes will be given to each national party and recognised state party of Bihar uniformly on the regional kendras of Doordarshan network and All India Radio network in Bihar,” the commission said.
