Second Phase of voting in Bihar assembly today, real test for allies

Today, Second phase of election to be held in Bihar assembly one of the most interesting thing is that today voting covers 6 Naxal hit districts so the security will be very tight today.

Today BJP 2 small allies Upendra Kushwaha (RLSP) and Jitan Ram manjhi (HAM) has to prove there worth. In todays battle BJP is only fighting on 16 out of 32 seats so allies have to perform well to give huge fight to Mahagathbandhan.

In 2010 Assembly election of Bihar Mahagathbandhan manage to get 20 out of 32 seats whereas 12 seats are headed by present NDA in bihar.An analysis of the 2010 and 2014 results in the south-western portion of Bihar shows that if electoral arithmetic works, the Mahagathbandhan should have an edge.

In the 2010 assembly elections, allies JD(U), RJD and Congress between them got 53% of votes polled against a mere 17.7% for the BJP and Ram Vilas Paswan's LJP put together. The RLSP and HAM(S) did not yet exist.

Four years later, in 2014 LS polls, the combined vote share of the current grand alliance came down to a less imposing 47.4%. But even at that level, it was comfortably ahead of the 40.5% polled by BJP and RLSP put together.

The LJP did not contest any seat in this region and HAM(S), still did not exist.
It is another matter that because opposition to the NDA was divided in 2014, it led in 29 of the 32 segments.

Doubts about the coming together of vote bases apart, the reason this arithmetic won't seem daunting to NDA in the current polls is that part of what was JD(U) in 2014 has now broken away to form HAM(S). Itis in this part of Bihar that its influence is likely to be strongest. Manjhi himself is a candidate in this phase andseven of 20 seats his party is contesting are here.

Round 2 battle is going to be interesting factor and edge to edge fight, finally the vote percentage that will locked today will pay a key role in this battle.

NDA is leading with 4% of votes in Bihar Assembly election poll over Mahagathbandhan

  

Bihar Assembly Election, Article is focusing on the survey done by Times of India and Nielsen. Both the survey shows clearly that Modi magic is still flowing in Bihar. Narendra Modi 4 consecutive rally in Bihar has boost the confidence of the Karyakarta's of BJP and moreover has given a strong option in front of public of Bihar to opt for NDA government. Nitish-Lalu-Sonia gathbandhan is in serious trouble but giving neck to neck fight. Trouble because they have power of 3 strong leaders of the party even than there mahagathbandhan is lacking behind NDA lead by one man Army "Narendra Modi". 

Survey clearly shows that NDA has sizable 4% led on the Nitish-Lalu-Sonia led mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) according to Times of India Survey.

The survey shows that 44% of those polled said they would vote for the NDA while 40% said they would back the JD(U)-RJD-Congress combine. Smaller parties and independents were backed by 10%, which left a small chunk of about 6% who were undecided on who they would vote for. The poll had a sample size of 2,046, out of which 80% were rural voters. The NDA had significantly higher support among female respondents as well as among the young (those aged between 20 and 30) while the Mahagathbandhan found stronger support among older voters aged between 46 and 60. The 30-45 year age group had a higher proportion of undecided voters, about one in 10, than other age groups.

Where as according to Nielsen survey the grand coalition was projected to win 122 seats in the 243-member Bihar Assembly, according to our Survey conducted in September. However, the final Opinion Poll has predicted that the Nitish Kumar-led association is set to lose ten seats thereby dropping down to 112.

According  to the Opinion Poll, the BJP-led combine including LJP, RLSP and HAM is likely to get majority in the upcoming polls. Narendra Modi’s charisma continues unabated as the NDA is likely to bag 128 seats out of 243.

In a state where "social justice" is often a euphemism for caste-based politics, that is an indicator that while there may be a yearning for 'vikas', it is not necessarily happening by overriding identity politics.
