These dates mark a tight timeline in which political parties are ramping up efforts to connect with voters across Bihar.
๐ค Key Alliances and Seat Sharing
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has locked in its seat-sharing deal. Both the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and Janata Dal (United) [JD(U)] will contest 101 seats each. The Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will field candidates in 29 constituencies, while the Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) will each contest 6 seats.
This alliance reflects a strategic effort to consolidate votes and counter the opposition's influence.
๐ Political Dynamics and Shifts
A notable development ahead of the elections is the resignation of two legislators from the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), who are reportedly expected to join the JD(U). Such political realignments could impact voter sentiment and shift the balance of power.
๐ผ Policy Focus: Women’s Reservation
In a progressive move, the Bihar government under Nitish Kumar has announced a 35% horizontal reservation for women in all government jobs and services. This policy exclusively benefits women permanent residents of Bihar and applies across direct recruitment in state government cadres. This announcement could sway female voters and highlight the government’s focus on gender empowerment.
๐ Electoral Roll Insights
The Election Commission of India (ECI) has updated the final voter list ahead of the elections. The final electoral roll now counts 7.42 crore electors, down from the 7.89 crore voters registered earlier this year. About 65 lakh voters were removed after verification, while over 21 lakh new eligible voters were added. This clean-up aims to enhance the accuracy and integrity of the voting process.
๐ The Road Ahead
As Bihar gears up to vote, political parties are intensifying their campaigns, with social media and grassroots outreach playing vital roles. The electorate, one of India’s largest, will have the power to shape the state’s governance for the next five years.
The elections are also a test of alliances and promises amid evolving political dynamics and policy announcements. Whether it’s development, employment, or social justice, Bihar’s voters will weigh their choices carefully.
