Earlier it was being said that BJP President Amit Shah could face problems if the party fares poorly in Bihar.

Union Minister and senior BJP leader Ananth Kumar today hit out at Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD chief Lalu Prasad for their “negative campaign” in contrast to positive agendas of NDA and said the coming state assembly polls were a direct contest between “jungle raj and development”. This leaves the Grand Alliance with limited support among its own assured voters. The NDA, which included the BJP, Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) and Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP), won the most votes in 172 out of 243 ACs in Bihar.
The Third Front led by Samajwadi Party and Pappu Yadav do not seem to be making any impact, not even as a serious “vote-katwa” (spoiler). The absence of a regional leader, who would match the stature of the late R.K Hegde and Deve Gowda, allowed the party the opportunity to only emerge as the prime opposition in the 1994 assembly election that gave it a mere 16.7 percent of the vote. Chief among these spoilers are the Left parties, six of which recently announced a grand alliance.
Although Lalu and Nitish claim to be the protectors of “Mandal”, the caste arithmetic in the poll-bound state is not really in favour of the duo. To them, Lalu is still a symbol of all the evils and the development record of Nitish has been made possible due to his alliance with the BJP.
Also, the NDA alliance has a much more balanced spread in terms of caste representation. A whopping 6 lakh BJP-RSS karyakartas have been deployed across Bihar and are constantly monitored using mobile apps and Global Positioning System locations for continuous updates. If it prevails, this victory could provide the central government with new momentum.
Lalu said there are about 500 cows in his cowshed and he was a true gow-palak (cow keeper) and added that it was unfortunate that the BJP leaders who eat dogs were advising him on cow protection. Ironically, a win in the state may make his position shakier. Amidst verbal violence and political mud-slinging, that one would normally expect during election campaigning, RJD chief Lalu Prasad has found a unique way to take a dig at NDA’s star campaigner – PM Narendra Modi.
So, Vivek Kumar requested all the citizens to watch this video before participating in Bihar Elections 2015 and choose the right leader.

“Lalu Yadav involves his family into politics; he has got his wife, daughter, son all in the party”. The most recent enumeration of all other communities was carried out in 1931 under the British Raj. Until details from this survey are publicly released, analysts have to rely on projections based on the 1931 enumeration.
