Hindutva becomes different in Bihar...
The bjp, which calls Hindutva an integral part of its way of life, relies on social engineering to win elections in Bihar. In the neighbouring state of Uttar Pradesh, the bjp forms the government on its own because it gets votes in the name of Ram. However, it is a different matter that there too the BJP forms alliances with smaller political parties to accumulate votes of different caste groups. In rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh, only two political parties - the congress and the bjp - are contenders for power.
In Uttar Pradesh too, at present, the Samajwadi party seems to be stronger against the bjp, other parties are standing on the margins. In this matter, the situation in bihar is somewhat different. Here, the two political parties that are the inheritors of the politics of social justice are the RJD and the JDU. Both these parties express their commitment to eliminate the economic inequality present in the society.
JD(U) leader nitish kumar is known for taking decisions according to the situation. He has set a record of changing alliances according to his convenience. The power of the state remained in the hands of Lalu Yadav and Rabri Devi for fifteen years. Then the villages and towns tasted socialism soaked in the syrup of caste. Unhappy with Lalu's working style, nitish kumar got the patronage of George Fernandes and then the discussion of good governance started in the politics of Bihar.
