News India Live, Digital Desk: This time something has happened in Bihar elections, which has baffled even the big political pundits. This time people have voted so silently, but in such large numbers, that all the records since 1952 till date have been broken. Experts say that this jump of about 10 percent in voting is not a trivial thing, it is a sign of a huge political storm.
But the biggest question of millions is that in whose favor is this storm? Is this a storm to save the 15-year-old chair of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar or is it a storm to bring opposition leader Tejashwi Yadav to power?
What does it mean when people vote silently?
Political experts believe that whenever there is such a sudden jump in voting percentage, it is often a sign of change. He argues that when the public is happy with the functioning of the current government, it sits comfortably at home. But when she gets angry, when she is upset, only then does she come out of her house, braving the scorching heat and sun, and stand in lines, so that she can teach the government a lesson.
In political language it is called ‘anti-incumbency’ i.e. wave against the government. People think that let’s give someone else a chance and see, maybe something will change.
So is Nitish Kumar’s departure certain?
If we follow this simple formula, then the increased voting percentage is directly an alarm bell for the Nitish Kumar led NDA government. This could mean that the people of Bihar have made up their mind that now they want change. This can be a very good news for Tejashwi Yadav, because the public has probably silently given its verdict that they no longer want this government.
But there is another side to the coin
However, some people also believe that sometimes there is a ‘silent voter’ section of the public, who is happy with the work of the government but does not speak. It is possible that these increased 10% votes belong to the same silent class, which came out of the house at the last moment to save their favorite leader. These may be those people who have benefited from government schemes and do not want the government to change.
But this is rarely seen in political history. In most cases, the silently growing crowd brings about a storm of change.
Now what is the real truth, it will be known only on the day of results. But one thing is sure – the people of Bihar have locked their decision in EVMs, and this decision has given everyone sleepless nights from Patna to Delhi.
