As the Bihar assembly elections draw near, the political landscape is charged with hot-button issues such as unemployment, special status demands, and caste-based reservations. The Election Commission has declared a two-phase polling schedule, set for November 6 and 11, followed by counting on November 14.

The ruling NDA, including Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and allies Jitan Ram Manjhi, Chirag Paswan, and Upendra Kushwaha, face off against the RJD-Congress-led Mahagathbandhan, bolstered by CPI(ML) Liberation. Both sides are readying their strategies to win over the electorate.

Key election topics include accusations against the Election Commission, law and order scenarios, and youth migration. The NDA's recent welfare measures clash with criticisms of unresolved issues. The demand for Bihar's special status and caste-based reservations are also pivotal, with potential national implications around the 'Mandal versus Kamandal' narrative.
