The stage is set for a pivotal political contest as the Bihar assembly election approaches, with the NDA, led by the seasoned leader Nitish Kumar, squaring off against the Opposition INDIA bloc.
Nitish Kumar, who has dominated Bihar's political landscape for nearly two decades, seeks another term, leveraging his reputation for good governance and a suite of welfare schemes. Key initiatives include free electricity, potable water in rural areas, and employment opportunities, all resonating with voters.
While the NDA benefits from a solid support base, they've been in power for two decades, potentially facing anti-incumbency sentiments. Additionally, internal challenges, like handling the BJP's high command culture and caste-related perceptions, pose hurdles. As voting day nears, both alliances strive to appeal to Bihar's diverse electorate.
