Whenever the buzz of Legislative Council (MLC) elections starts in the politics of Bihar, the process of changing equations in the political circles intensifies. The political temperature of the state has reached sky high regarding the upcoming Patna Graduates MLC Election. Meanwhile, a sharp and outspoken statement by Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and senior Bharatiya Janata Party leader Samrat Choudhary has created a stir in the politics of the state. After this statement of Samrat Chaudhary, the discussion has started gaining momentum in the political circles that whether the path of strongman and former MLA Anant Singh is not going to be so easy in this year’s graduate constituency elections and he is going to face a tough competition from a tough opponent? Let us examine in depth every political aspect of this high-profile MLC election in Patna, the deep implications of Samrat Chaudhary’s statement and the latest equations of the electoral field.
Samrat Choudhary, known for his aggressive attitude and candid statements in Bihar politics, recently made a statement regarding the upcoming elections of Patna Graduate Constituency which forced the opposition camp as well as political analysts to think. The way Samrat Chaudhary presented the picture of the electoral field during his address and media discussion, it is clearly evident that this time the ruling alliance and NDA are very serious about this seat. Graduate elections have always been different from traditional political contests because the voters here are not the general public but highly educated graduate youth and professionals, who have different thinking and priorities. This strategic statement of Samrat Chaudhary has completely heated up the election atmosphere and has indicated that this time the contest is not going to be one-sided at all.
The influence of Anant Singh and his supporters, who have a distinct identity as a strong leader of Bihar, has been a big political factor in Patna and surrounding rural-urban areas for a long time. Ever since the discussion of his possible move or support in this election has started, everyone has been trying to calculate how his hold among the graduate voters will work. However, experts believe that the mood of the graduate elections of the Legislative Council is quite different from the general assembly elections. Here, along with caste equations, issues like educated youth, employment, education system and development of the area matter the most. This is the reason why political veterans are also pondering over whether Bahubali image and traditional political power will prove to be completely effective in this unique battle of graduate constituency or not.
All political parties have started preparing their internal strategies to win the Patna Graduate MLC elections. On one hand, NDA is trying its best to establish a strong hold on this seat, on the other hand, opposition parties are also trying to take full advantage of this so that they can effectively raise anti-government issues among the public and the educated class. After Samrat Chaudhary’s statement, a new enthusiasm is being seen among NDA workers and local leaders, and they are trying hard to ensure that the graduate voters are inclined towards the policies and development works of the ruling party. In this quadrangular or triangular contest, the value of each vote increases significantly, due to which the election result is likely to be very exciting.
In the politics of Bihar, the graduate and teacher constituencies of the Legislative Council have always been considered the center of intellectual politics. The voter here is very aware and before choosing any party or face, he closely assesses its functioning and vision. This election of Patna Graduate Constituency is not limited only to the victory or defeat of one MLC, but it is also a litmus test of which political direction the educated youth of the state are inclined. As the voting date approaches, the phase of political rhetoric, secret meetings and support gathering is becoming more intense. It will be interesting to see whether in the end the prestige of the strong leader prevails or whether the strategy of NDA and the new mood of educated voters changes the entire outcome of this election.
