BJP opts for ‘complementary’ approach in poll-bound Bihar

Hindustan Times  

The Bharatiya Janata Party, which is keen on expanding its footprint and increasing its support base in Bihar, has opted for a “complementary” approach towards its allies to emerge as a winning coalition in the assembly polls scheduled for later this year in the state, people aware of the details said. Party leaders speaking on condition of anonymity said the BJP is keen to go to the polls as part of a strong coalition to tap into the “collective votebank” of allies in the state, where it is in power with chief minister Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal Party leaders speaking on condition of anonymity said the BJP is keen to go to the polls, expected in October-November, as part of a strong coalition to tap into the “collective votebank” of allies in the state, where it is in power with chief minister Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal or JD. Union minister Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party, former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awami Morcha, and Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Samta Party are the other BJP allies in the state. The leader indicated that while the party high command wanted the BJP to emerge as a key player in Bihar — where caste dictates electoral preferences and therefore, the outcome — it has opted for “complementing” the allies that have a hold over a significant electorate in the state.
