Birds fly out, politicians flock in

New Delhi, March 26 (IANS) With the weather getting hotter in Bihar, it's time for migratory birds to fly away. But the heat and dust of general elections is making some other creatures flock right back home - politicians.

While they hardly show up at other times, many candidates for the general elections along with hundreds of workers are settling in for some hectic campaigning.

Among them is central Steel Minister and Lok Janshakti Party chief Ram Vilas Paswan. He is fighting elections from Hajipur.

Unlike the politicians, the birds - which come from Malaysia, Uzbekistan, China and Italy and descend on the Kawar lake in Begusarai district - never fail to fly back home every year.
