The Nitish factor in political calculus

New Indian Express  

Bihar continues to confound keen observers of the state’s politics. Another factor expecting a better turnout for INDIA was mass employment given to 5 lakh school teachers across caste categories in one go, a move that had been pending for long. As things turned out, the NDA won 30 seats, with the BJP and JDU getting 12 each, the Lok Janshakti Party bagging five, and the Hindustani Awam Morcha one. INDIA won nine seats, out of which the RJD bagged four, the Congress three, the Communist Party of India Liberation two, and one to an independent candidate. In 2019, the RJD could not get even a single seat despite contesting 19 and having 15.68 percent of the votes; this time, its vote share increased significantly to 22.14 percent, but it did not translate proportionally into seats in an election of smaller margins.
