News India Live, Digital Desk: Upenndra Kushwaha’s Politics: Upendra Kushwaha is a name in the political streets of Bihar, who is known for its specific social base and constantly changing political stalks. If we look at his political journey, one thing is clearly visible: he has made an identity of himself, he is heard in political circles and his supporter is also a class of Aadhaar, but he has not yet achieved permanent and concrete success on a big election stage or in power. How much fuel he has been able to save in his ‘cylinder’ under the flag of Rashtriya Lok Morcha RLM is a big question for the current and future politics of Bihar. Upendra Kushwaha has seen many ups and downs in his political career. He was sometimes a part of the National Democratic Alliance NDA, sometimes the Grand Alliance joined the Grand Alliance, and then separated his path. This continuous party-growing questions the stability in their political ideology, but also strengthens the politics of their ‘identity’, in which they often emerge as an outspoken advocate of the interests of a particular class. He is seen as a leader who represents the Koiri/Kushwaha community, which is considered an important vote bank in Bihar. His biggest challenge has been how to turn this identity into solid electoral victory and power partnership. The strong hold of veteran leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar on Bihar politics has often limited their independent efforts. Even though they impact some seats or may be important for an alliance, they have not been able to be established as a decisive power. His party, RLM, is being seen as a ‘cylinder’ in which fuel is limited. That is, this party has established an identity, but is still struggling in terms of seats in the electoral riot or as a powerful bargaining power in the alliance. The number of his supporters is not less, but this vote is often not completely concentrated in favor of his party. Some analysts also see it as a “vote cutter”, which can benefit or harm a large party, but does not come into a decisive role itself. Now when the atmosphere of the upcoming elections is heating up, Upendra Kushwaha and his RLM’s role becomes important. Is this time in his ‘cylinder’ enough ‘gas’ which will help him to create a significant difference in the election results or become an inseparable part of a large alliance? Or will it be another chapter of his political story that stays away from solid success by re -identifying it? The answer to these questions will give time to come, when Bihar’s election picture will be more clear.
