Bihar's Political Power Play: NDA vs INDIA Bloc

The upcoming Bihar assembly elections see the Nitish Kumar-led NDA seeking another term against the INDIA bloc. With two phases planned, the elections present challenges and opportunities for Kumar, who is the state's longest-serving chief minister. His welfare schemes are both a strength and a potential weakness.

As Bihar gears up for its assembly elections, political tensions are mounting between Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's NDA and the INDIA bloc, consisting of RJD and Congress.

The Election Commission has scheduled the polls for November 6 and 11, with results on November 14. Kumar's leadership, marked by welfare schemes, stands against potential anti-incumbency sentiment.

The NDA's dominance, largely rooted in Kumar's two-decade tenure, faces challenges from the INDIA bloc aiming to capitalize on weaknesses and caste dynamics.
