Bihar will go to the polls in November. There are 243 seats, and three major players. The NDA Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is facing 20 years of incumbency. There are also adverse reports about his health, and his ability to lead for another term.
The BJP doesn’t have a strong electoral face either. As for the Mahagathbandhan, many believe this is their election to win – provided they get their act together. But can they?
There is also the unknown variable -- Prashant Kishore’s Jan Suraaj Party. Whose fortunes will it dent more – the NDA’s or the Mahagathbandhan’s? Which will way will the Extreme Backward Classes (EBCs), Dalits and the Pasmanda vote swing? The NDA is big time into ‘revdi’ politics. Offering ₹10,000 through the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojana (MMRY). Will it be enough to get them the women’s vote? How will the Special Intensive Revision impact the polls?
Guest: Professor Kumar Sanjay Singh, who teaches history at Swami Shraddhanand College, Delhi.
Host: G Sampath
