Bihar election results: Game over for independents, public has told that now they only want government, not deal.

News India Live, Digital Desk: The results of this time’s assembly elections have made one thing clear like glass, Bihar is now changing. We all have seen that period when 4-5 independent MLAs used to come to the assembly after winning and used to get their conditions fulfilled to form the government. He considered himself a “kingmaker”. Whether the government was formed here or there, the key was often in the pockets of these small parties or independents.

But friends, this time the results have thrown that key into the sea.

‘Blank’ decision, confusion ends
The election results show that the people of Bihar have now become wise. He had decided that he would vote only for the one who could form the government. He did not consider it appropriate to ‘waste’ his vote on small independents or the Third Front.

Result? The space for “Others” or independents in the Bihar Assembly has shrunk to almost nothing. The public considered a direct contest between two big alliances and chose one.

The wind of ‘third front’ came out
Before every election, there was a noise in Bihar that “this time we will become the third option.” Sometimes a new front is formed, sometimes a group of independents. But the voters rejected it outright. Now the politics of Bihar has become ‘binary’ – either you are here or there. There is no middle path.

Lock down on blackmailing and resort politics
Its biggest advantage is that after the formation of the government, the ‘bargaining’ that used to happen will stop. Remember? How could the entire government be shaken by the fear of one or two MLAs breaking down? The MLAs had to be confined to the resort.
When the number of independents is negligible, the government will also be able to work with stability. This is a good sign for democracy.

lessons for leaders
These results are a big slap for those who used to stand as independents after not getting tickets from the party on the basis of muscle power or money power. The public has said that party symbol and ideology matter, not your personal influence.

Overall, Bihar has elected a ‘strong’ government (whoever it may be) rather than a ‘khichdi’ government. The loss of influence of independents shows that the voters of Bihar now want stability, not drama.

Now it remains to be seen how much the leader respects the clear majority or mandate he has received.
