Verdict: The Bihar Election Show

This time, the problem is serious in Bihar. While the Bihar election is going on, people of Bihar are hoping to get a government that would work for betterment. However, the real dilemma starts here. Biharis are left with two choices – BJP led NDA alliance or the JDU led mahagathbandhan. Which way the camel sits, will be revealed on 8th of November only. However, there is something in the human head called ‘conscious’ or ‘conscience’; and homo sapiens know how to use this thing. I have been to my home town Bihar Sharif recently (9th to 13th October) and tried to capture the ideas cooking up about the Bihar elections. I talked to my friends, my parents, my brother and listened to the usual chunavi gupshup on the roadside. There were mixed reactions about the parties in the fray for Bihar Election. However, there was something loud and lucid – people of Bihar, mostly, did not seem the old caste puppets!

Something New in Bihar Election This Time

In the past, the general notion of people about Bihar election used to be something like – they will say everything, but vote the candidate of their caste only. This time, let me make the world sure of this, it’s not going to happen. People of Bihar have seen the fallacy and reality as well. The ‘susashan’ of Nitish Kumar has mingled with the ‘jungleraaj’ of Sri Lalu Yadav! Now what? The same question reverberated in every ear the day this mahagathbandhan came into existence. (I hope the same will happen the day when this gathbandhan will be extinct.)

Questions to Nitish Kumar

The question is – how could Nitish Kumar, whose existence can be justified only if he stands against RJD and Congress, shake hands with the notorious evil? The person who used to abuse and curse Lalu for the Jungleraaj is today ready to party with him in the same jungle! Nitish is with Congress party, the party he used to call names in the past. Mr. Nitish, the ‘janta’ is seeing all your ‘sushashan’ now. People will not make their decision on your ‘past’ achievements. They will think about the ‘future’ to come seeing your present situation. Where do you stand now?

If It Happens

If mahagathbandhan comes into the power, be ready to bear another illiterate Dy. CM in Bihar. Now a 9th class passed boy will teach the importance of higher education to the people of Bihar. “Ham school, college khol denge. Bachon ko quality higher education denge. Vikas karenge.” Mr. BMW owner, apke pitaji to kar nahi paye kuchh bhi padhe likhe hoke. Ap kya kar lenge? My experience after interaction with the voters of Bihar was quite wonderful. People were extremely eager to see off the Jungleraaj finally.
I am happy to be the herald and annunciate the jungleraaj extinct from Bihar. People have had enough dear Nitish and Lalu. Let the last time voters have a chance to witness what real development is. Let them join hands with the development of the country.
