The BJP government seems to have introduced outstanding developments in the state of Bihar, as is evident from the distribution of "mithai" among each other. On account of successfully completing the major milestone in terms of their alliance in Bihar they celebrate by feeding sweets to each other.
However, Chirag Paswan of LIP has said about the shock that he was in following the way the government has divided up the seats for election that is going to commence from the next month. "Our cadres expressed their surprise, we were not given what we had been told," replied Mr Paswan, when asked about his reaction about this. As a matter of fact his father, Ram Vilas Paswan, is already a union minister. According to the Chirag Paswan, his party will always remain "united", in every situation, no matter what happens. In this scenario, if his party decides to allocate seats to another partner, Jitan Ram Manjhi, they might have some reason. In addition, he is reportedly being assured by other leading BJP leaders that any concerns regarding this issue will be addressed.
History reveals that the BJP has always won the unwavering support of the upper caste voters in Bihar. For this upcoming election, where the party is all set to relocate Nitish Kumar as Chief Minister their immediate support goes to Mr Paswan and Mr Manjhi, as they are the ones with enough influence as the Dalit leaders and at the same time have competing claims of popularity.
Yesterday, when Mr Manjhi was 20 seats after he rejected a smaller portion, Mr Paswan was alloted 40 seats considering his popularity in the region. In earlier negotiations, as sourced from the BJP interiors, Mr Manjhi had reportedly said that Mr Paswan is being over-compensated. Manjhi has added that he did not win a single seat in the last Bihar election and that's the reason why party is doing all these in his favour. On the BJP Party's front, it's being said that BJP government is doing that in favour of the party. Quite obviously, the BJP has kept 160 seats for itself, while allocating 23 to Upendra Kushwaha, a leader of the Koeri backward caste.
Such an act on BJP's part is seriously commendable as they are putting up a formidable competition by taking on the trio of Nitish Kumar. Nitish Kumar, the current CM of Bihar is all set to serve the state for three terms consecutively. However, BJP is trying to put up a tough competition to him.
As for the BJP's latest trump card, Mr. Manjhi, hails from one of the most backward caste of Dalits or Mahadalits. Later, he became the leader of Mr Kumar's party and promoted as the Chief Minister, while Mr Kumar took responsibility for his party's catastrophic result in the parliamentary elections in Bihar. Mr Manjhi was excluded then who then set out to found his own party.
However, after all turmoil, the BJP has joined hands with Mr. Manjhi and his party in Bihar for some productive results in the upcoming election.
