Reportedly it is believed that caste-based elections are held in bihar and bihar leaders cross the electoral river by riding on the boat of caste. If we look at the record of the last 35 years, caste-based elections were held in Lalu-Rabri government from 1990 to 2005 and Lalu-Rabri remained in power for 15 years on the basis of caste, while chief minister Nitish Kumar has also captured power by uniting backward, extremely backward and forward votes since 2005, but will the upcoming 2025 election also be caste-based?
Perhaps it is being said that it is not possible that this 2025 election will be caste-based, because this time prashant Kishore's Jan Suraj party will also be in the electoral fray apart from nda alliance and india Alliance. After forming his party on 2 october 2024, prashant kishor has claimed that he will win at least 200 out of all 243 seats in Bihar. Now in such a situation, how big a challenge will it be for chief minister Nitish Kumar or Tejashwi Yadav is a matter of time, but if political information is to be believed, prashant kishor cannot be taken lightly and PK can become a big problem for both the nda alliance and the india alliance.
Moreover political expert and senior journalist Arun Kumar Pandey said that it is true that caste-based elections have been taking place in bihar, but the current political situation in bihar shows that prashant kishor remains a big challenge for both JDU and RJD. The way prashant kishor has been in the headlines right now and if this continues, then somewhere RJD can become the third number party and the contest can be between Jan Suraj and NDA. But the way prashant kishor is claiming and how correct his claim is. He will be seen in the four by-elections of bihar, which will be held as semi-finals before the 25th elections, because by-elections are to be held on four vacant seats in the Lok Sabha.
