Who will win BIHAR .. 'Let the last Vote get counted'
This Bihar election is
the first major election since the Covid 19 pandamic disrupted the political
calender and prompted sweeping measures for social distencing. The three Phase
Bihar Poll for 243 Vidhan Sabha seats was completed on the 7th. The turnout for
the poll as per media report was 58%. Today is the vote counting day. By the
time the sun sets today , the dawn of the next political regime in the
State will emerge. Will this dawn usher in a new political 'don' or the
"Sarkar Raj" will continue with their "All is
Well " narrative for another 4 years.
Will PM Modi, the over
used "trump card" political campainer for NDA be able to
push back JDU- BJP led alliance once again into rulling Bihar for another
four year terms or will he concede defeat without playing and
crying foul. Well whatever be the outcome of today's polling verdict, the
politics of vendetta and vilifying the poor will continue.
The problem of
unemployment, the plight of farmers, the reverse exodus of migrant
labourers together with booming crime rate and its growing political
nexus has taken away even the bare economic diginity of the common man in
Bihar. This State as always in everyway stands as an illusteration of
India's demographic disaster. PM Modi in all his electioneering campaign
kept talking of the 15 years of "junggle Raj" in the State before the
NDA era but never spoke anything about the last 15 years of
"jungglee Raj" in th State . However as usual his political rants
on Nationalisim, Article 370 and Phullwama remaind unstoppable.
Tejashwi Yadav
is the 31 year old CM candidate projected by the RJD led
Maha-Ghattbandagan, .whereas in the NDA and JDU led alliance the CM
Nitish Kumar neither gets mentioned as CM candidate nor figures in
any of the Party's bill boards and posters that looks like creepers spread all
over Patna.
Elections and
political campaigning have today become the survivial kit for our
Democracy but Social justice, the soul of our Democracy
remains reduced to academics that get discussed and debated
over our National Media.
