Bihar election result 2020: Nitish's blinkered view and Tejashwi's 'development' pitch likely to give Mahagathbandhan the edge

Firstpost  

The world is in reset mode with the coronavirus pandemic, lockdown and continuing uncertainties, affecting lives and livelihoods en masse. In the context of Bihar Assembly Elections 2020, Nitish is much talked for subduing his own stature, ideological commitments and possibilities as opposition’s face in Lok Sabha Elections 2019. His party Janata Dal was in alliance with the Bharatiya Janata Party in 2009 and 2010, when he didn’t let Narendra Modi campaign in Bihar during the Lok Sabha and Bihar Legislative Elections respectively. BJP’s utilitarian consideration on Nitish made a further shift when it let Chirag Paswan to go unconventional with his party’s plan in Bihar elections, exuding a dichotomy, Lok Janshakti Party remained in NDA and maintained a bonhomie with BJP – however, did everything possible to harm Nitish’s prospects. According to the Centre for Monitoring Indian Economy, in June 2020, Bihar’s unemployment rate was nearly double the national average in the year ending June 2019.
