Game of Thrones: Bihar Edition

A ray of hope emerged in the country when Mr. Narendra Modi became the 16th Prime Minister of India. A feeling of nationalism and patriotism started pouring into the country. The NDA (National Democratic Alliance) had an overwhelming majority in the LOK SABHA shattering off the well reputed UPA Government and the regional parties.

Then there were State Assembly Elections in the state of Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir. The NDA fought the elections under the authority of Mr. Narendra Modi and the result turned out to be that the BJP came into power in Maharashtra and won the second highest majority in Jammu Kashmir and hence going on to form the coalition government with PDP (declaiming the regional parties and the Congress Party).

But now the elections have come to the third most populated state – BIHAR.  This election will decide the political future of many new faces including Lalu Prasad Yadav's son. But  their competition is neither with NDA nor with BJP but their competition is with the most powerful person of the politics – MODI. The Modi effect has already been witnessed as most of the opinion polls gave NDA two third majority.

When people are interviewed, they say that they are going to vote for DEVELOPMENT. They want their and their state's  condition to be uplifted. “Desh ka ek hi jantantra…..aur Modi ka ek hi mantra…..VIKAS” are the slogans which people chant on the streets of Bihar. As a result of the growing MODI WAVE in Bihar the regional parties along with Congress have come together to fight the Bihar elections in hope of majority

Though the thing which is questionable is that since all these years leaders like Nitish Kumar, Lalu Prasad Yadav and Sonia Gandhi haven’t certainly shared cordial relations, then why are they collaborating for this election? Well what can be inferred from this is that they have come together to stop Modi. But the nation knows that Modi has been synonymous to DEVELOPMENT. The MAHAGHATBANDHAN ( a large association which includes parties like JDU , RJD and Congress ) is using all its power to curb Modi from winning the elections. But the people of Bihar are intelligent and they know that the promises made by the current Chief Minister Nitish Kumar were all false and illusionary. The 25 years of so called JUNGLE RAAJ   have put the Biharis in a state of despair and sorrow. The youth of Bihar is forced to leave their native places and migrate to big cities in search of jobs and employment because all these years the government was self centered and selfish which just catered to its needs. Bihar has many resources but their proper usage has not been done for the common man of Bihar. The government just played politics in the arena of RELIGION. MODI always mentions in his speeches.

The MAHAGATHBANDHAN is blaming the Modi Government for increase in the prices of pulses. But the Modi Government has issued orders to the state government to conduct raids where the pulses are stored in bulk and would be sold in black. Just in the city of Mumbai, 22000 tones of pulses have been seized which is approximately worth 240 crore  rupees. This has led to a dip in the price of pulses in Mumbai. But the Bihar Government has not taken up any such raids and are busy in their merry making and money making business.

The war of words between the parties has increased as the result date is coming nearer. The politicians have started playing with the people’s mind with their personal issues. Sometimes the opposing parties make a sullen matter so huge that it takes the shape of a  communal riot. Then the State Government starts blaming the Centre and the Centre starts accusing the State. The voting turnout at the poll booths have increased, in comparision to the last Assembly elections.

People of Bihar say that this election is between Mahaghatbandhan and Modi. This election is against the people who show the face of development and the MAN who is a living example of Development. Bihar election is also crucial for Modi because these results will have an impact on the upcoming Uttar Pradesh and West Bengal elections.

Thus, people of Bihar do need a leader who caters to the interests of his masses more profoundly than any other leader in the past. Development is what Bihar lacks and not resources. So the fate of this state has been no less than a rollercoaster ride, but the fact that everyone is eager to unveil the new face of Bihar soon after they have a so called ‘New Leader'
