Shift and change in the legacy of Bihar politics

Bihar is gearing up for its assembly elections on November 6 and 11. The polls are setting up a contest between the ruling coalition and the opposition alliance. The Election announced the schedule is for 243 seats, and counting will take place on November 14. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s BJP-JD(U) alliance is facing a fierce challenge from the opposition led by Tejashwi Yadav’s RJD. However, the caste loyalties are playing a pivotal role in influencing voter behaviour. The voters of Bihar are looking into the issues of governance, employment, and development.
Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraaj Party have entered into the scene, marking a change by giving a strong competition, and Bihar’s election narrative promises to be more unpredictable than ever.
