Bihar Assembly Election 2025: How will RJD’s ‘MY’ and JDU’s ‘Luv-Kush’ survive in Bihar? Whose game will be spoiled, Prashant Kishore, Nitish or Tejashwi Yadav?
Bihar is set to witness assembly elections towards the end of this year. With the passage of time, the election enthusiasm is increasing. A close contest is seen between Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav in Bihar. Bihar remains one of the few states where a candidate’s caste continues to play a crucial role. Because people believe that the candidate of their caste will work more for them than others. CM Nitish Kumar has kept himself close to power with the help of Luv-Kush i.e. Kushwaha-Kurmi equation. On the other hand, Tejashwi Yadav’s Muslim and Yadav’s MY equation is the base vote bank of Rashtriya Janata Dal. Muslims make up nearly 17% of Bihar’s population, while Yadavs represent close to 14%, as per the findings of the caste census. Let us tell you that M comes first in the MY equation and this is the biggest achievement for Muslims. Apart from CM Nitish Kumar and Tejashwi Yadav, Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishor is also fighting on two fronts. Prashant Kishor is working on a strategy to fight the BJP as well as break into the vote bank of the Grand Alliance. However, how successful he will be in this will be known in the future. The kind of politics Prashant Kishor is doing, who will suffer more, Nitish Kumar or Tejashwi Yadav? Well, it is difficult to say this right now, for now, let’s take a look at the political battle going on in Bihar. Will Prashant Kishor succeed in attracting support from the Muslim electorate? Some time ago, Prashant Kishor had said in an interview that he has come to Bihar for change. If the people of Bihar understand his point, then he will win so many seats that it will be difficult to count them. Prashant Kishor was earlier attacking RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, but for some time his target has turned towards BJP. It is clearly visible from Prashant Kishore’s politics that he is eyeing the Muslim-Yadav (MY) equation and he wants to break into the vote bank of the Grand Alliance. His interest in Muslim voters is becoming a matter of serious concern for the RJD leadership. Prashant Kishore recently held a meeting with Muslim leaders at Haj Bhawan in Patna and proposed to connect with the wider community through JSP’s ‘Bihar Badlaav’. By doing this, he has given a big challenge to the leaders of the Grand Alliance. Allegation of Prashant Kishore being BJP’s ‘B team’ The Grand Alliance leadership has often accused Prashant Kishore of being the ‘B team’ of the BJP. But ever since he has started targeting the leaders of the saffron party in Bihar, there is a stir in the BJP as well. On the allegation of BJP’s ‘B team’, Prashant Kishore had hit back at Tejashwi Yadav and said that RJD people call us BJP’s B team, while BJP people also call us RJD’s B team. Whereas the truth is that Jan Suraj is the B team of the public. But, amid the allegations against Prashant Kishor, the question is whether he is really doing politics as someone’s B team or does he have his own political goals? His political journey may or may not be as someone’s B team. It is expected that he may not be able to make much impact in 2025. But the 2029 Lok Sabha elections and the 2030 assembly elections will also be on his target.
