Bihar Elections: The Battle of Coalitions and Changing Alliances

The upcoming Bihar elections will determine if the opposition can challenge the ruling NDA, led by Nitish Kumar, in a state historically aligned with him. As alliances restructure, new entrants like Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party and social coalition dynamics are likely to impact traditional electoral outcomes.

The Bihar elections are poised to decide if the opposition has crafted an effective challenge against the NDA's longstanding rule under Nitish Kumar. The state, which has consistently supported Kumar since 2005, is now witnessing a shift in political dynamics.

Amid concerns about his health, Nitish Kumar faces a revitalized opposition, led by Tejashwi Yadav, who aims to outpace his father's political legacy against Kumar. The NDA, bolstered by a powerful BJP, faces the RJD-led coalition in a keenly contested assembly election.

Key factors like the Election Commission's Special Intensive Review, the involvement of poll strategist Prashant Kishor, and shifting social alliances will play pivotal roles. The election outcomes will not only influence Bihar's political landscape but also resonate with broader national political narratives.
