The political landscape of Bihar has always been a topic of special discussion across the country for its unexpected ups and downs, complex caste equations and manipulative politics. Whenever the bugle of Legislative Council (Bihar MLC Election) sounds in the state, the political temperature reaches sky high from the corridors of power to the rural areas. The atmosphere of Bihar MLC elections this time is quite different, because a new and aggressive political player has entered this bi-national or bi-party fight that traditionally takes place between the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan. Jan Suraj Party founder and strategist Prashant Kishor has given sleepless nights to both the major political alliances of the state with his unique grassroots strategy and selection of local candidates. Not only this, the rebels who entered the field angry over the ticket distribution have completely complicated the electoral mathematics on both sides. Let us analyze this high-voltage drama of Bihar MLC elections and the growing political influence of Prashant Kishor in great depth, detail and in a reporter’s conversational style.
What is this new political equation of Bihar MLC elections and why both the big alliances are restless with the entry of Prashant Kishore?
Legislative Council elections in Bihar are fought through votes of local authority, panchayat representatives and local bodies, where every vote and every Bahubali or local leader has a lot of value. It has been believed for a long time that the politics of Bihar has completely revolved around two poles i.e. NDA on one side and Grand Alliance on the other, in which it was very difficult to make space for a third party. But the way Prashant Kishor has created a new political option by going to village and panchayat level and has fielded educated and grassroots candidates, it has shaken the equations of the established parties. Due to this aggressive strategy of Prashant Kishor, now the strategists of both NDA and Grand Alliance have been forced to think that their traditional vote bank may not be breached. This is the reason that as the election date approaches, the round of meetings has intensified from Patna to the districts and both the camps are busy in revamping their strategies.
After ticket distribution, the lava of rebellion erupted on both sides, how will the veteran leaders of NDA and Grand Alliance be able to overcome the assassination of their own people?
The timing of ticket distribution in any election is the biggest test for political parties, and this time’s MLC election has become the biggest and live example of it. There were many veterans and local leaders within both the NDA and the Grand Alliance who were hoping to get tickets for years, but when the final list was released, they were disappointed. Angered by the denial of tickets, these leaders have openly raised the flag of rebellion and have jumped into the fray as independent or rebel candidates on many seats, due to which the official mathematics of the party has been completely disturbed. Political experts believe that at present, the parties are suffering more losses from their own internal attacks than from external opponents, because it is very difficult to keep track of each and every vote in local body elections. Convincing these angry rebels has become the biggest challenge for the big leaders of the party at this time, and if they are not pacified in time, then the election results can be very shocking.
Prashant Kishore’s grassroots model and penetration in local bodies, how this new thinking is hollowing out the roots of traditional political parties.
For a long time, Prashant Kishor has been canvassing every village through ‘Jan Suraj’ Padyatra on the basic issues of poor education, migration and employment in Bihar, the effect of which is now clearly visible in the elections. In local level elections like MLC elections, where earlier only caste and money power used to dominate, Prashant Kishore has given a new political message by bringing forward educated, professional and people belonging to every section of the society. Panchayat representatives and local voters from rural areas are now fed up with the empty promises of traditional parties and are feeling the winds of change, which is directly benefiting the candidates supported or inspired by Prashant Kishor. This is the reason why the traditional strategists of NDA and Grand Alliance have now started accepting that this election is no longer just a fight between two parties, but it has also become a test of a new political option.
