Bihar Assembly By-Election Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress (Congress), and Janata Dal-United (JDU) have given full force for the two seats (Tarapur and Kusheshwarsthan) of the Bihar assembly by-election. Through this, the path of future politics seems to be coming out. Due to this by-election, Congress has left the Mahagathbandhan and separated from the RJD. RJD is trying to make the equation of power favorable along with strengthening the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav by winning this election. Congress wants to send a message that it is not a fan of RJD. If Congress wins, it can not only return to the Grand Alliance with strength, but the stature of Kanhaiya Kumar will also increase. The election is also crucial for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), which has just four more MLAs than a simple majority. JDU is in the fray on both seats, so the victory is sure to increase the weight of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

 

The political path of the future coming out of the by-election

 

The victory and defeat in the by-elections to be held on October 30 for two seats of Tarapur and Kusheshwarsthan does not seem to affect the stability of the government at the moment, but the political path of the future seems to be coming through it. Because of this, all the major parties that entered the fray gave their full strength. The importance of this by-election is clear from the fact that along with Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav also campaigned for the first time after six years. While RJD's Tejashwi Yadav persisted in public relations, Congress's Kanhaiya Kumar was also fielded.

 

Tejashwi Yadav's stature will increase with RJD's victory

 

The by-election assumes significance for RJD as the brightness of its face Tejashwi Yadav is being tested in it. Tejashwi kept the command of the campaign in his hands. He did public relations for both the seats through election meetings, roadshows, and other means. To support Tejashwi, party supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav took the front for the first time after six years. RJD's traditional Muslim-Yadav vote equation (MY Equation) is also set to be tested in this election. Especially in Tarapur, where a maximum of 65 thousand Yadav votes is there, then 58 thousand Kushwaha votes are in second place. Muslim votes here are also 22 thousand. If RJD wins the election, then the battle for political succession in Tejashwi's family is bound to get stronger. RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav deny any such family dispute, but Tej Pratap Yadav ( Tej Pratap Yadav's statements on the day indicate something else.

 

This by-election is a fight for existence for Congress.

 

This by-election is so special for Congress that for this it has taken a big decision to leave the Grand Alliance. The Congress wanted it to get its traditional Kusheswarasthan seat, but the RJD did not agree. In the last election here, Congress candidate Ashok Ram was defeated by only 7222 votes. Brahmin votes have been decisive in Kusheshwarasthan. This by-election is a fight for survival for Congress. The party is also trying to send a message that it is not behind the RJD. If Congress wins the election, then it can return to the Grand Alliance with a strong force. With this victory, Kanhaiya Kumar of Congress will also be established in the politics of Bihar.

 

NDA government's stability will increase with victory

 

Talking about the ruling NDA, its 126 MLAs are only four more than the simple majority in the 243-member assembly. In such a situation, if JDU does not get the victory, then the pressure of opposition will increase on it. Even within the NDA, the pressure on Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will increase. In the politics of numbers, the political stature of Jitan Ram Manjhi and Mukesh Sahani, who have four MLAs each, will be capable of toppling the government. Yes, if JD(U) MLAs win, not only will Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's ground base be proved once again, but the stability of the NDA government will also increase.

 

By-election will also decide the direction of youth politics

 

This by-election is also seen to decide the direction of the youth politics of Bihar. The political status of young leaders like Tejashwi Yadav of RJD and Kanhaiya Kumar of Congress along with Chirag Paswan of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will also be probed.
