Bihar election

[PARIKRAMA]

i don know whats the obsession of all political parties opposed to Modi and BJP to keep on taunting Modi with different terms like feku jhumla 56 inches etc. They seems to forgot riding on all this publicity only it is all these parties who made NaMo name known in every inch of the country.
BTW Bihar elections is important in 2 aspects.
1. The state of BIhar needs a change with some one to stand up and give the honor due to Biharis who have also contributed immensely to the country but are always ridiculed more bcz of an image made by politicianss from Bihar eg Lalu or someone like even Nitish.
2. The intrinsic change which NaMo needed to unleash as part of his broad based election results is some what stuck atm. Of course its not him alone to be blamed but more abt opposition parties as drama in parliament have shown how every political party just create ruckus and does really nothing for the nation. BJP also created a mess with the coal gate scams and the spectrum scams. But sadly the political parties are yet to unearth such scams of epic proportion to justify their actions.

A strong show by BJP in Bihar and push for more structural changes (like land bills and other bills which are stuck due to either opposition issues or lack of numbers in Rajya Sabha or lack of consensus) is the need of the hour. The country is dependent on such changes to fuel our future. and Politicians are taking us for a ride with their idiotic behaviors and lack of collective responsibility.

I do wish a clear cut mandate and the new government working together with center can unleash the next development phase of Bihar and inturn fuel the growth of our country.

Bihar Assembly election may be five-phased
The Election Commission had a detailed meeting with top Home Ministry officials on Friday on deployment of security forces during the polls that may be held in October.

Bihar Assembly election to be announced shortly is expected to be five-phased and around 50,000 paramilitary personnel will be deployed in each phase to ensure peaceful polling.

The Election Commission had a detailed meeting with top Home Ministry officials on Friday on deployment of security forces during the polls that may be held in October.

There is a demand of about 500 companies (around 100 personnel each) of paramilitary forces for each phase of polling and the Home Ministry will provide all the required forces, sources said.

Apart from the central forces, state police will also be deployed extensively during the elections. The term of the 243-member Bihar Assembly comes to an end on November 29.

The Election Commission is likely to announce the schedule of the high-voltage Bihar Assembly polls later in the next few days.

After ruling the state for ten years, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is seeking a third term this time in alliance with RJD and Congress after he walked out of NDA in June, 2013 snapping 17-year-old ties with BJP.

BJP, which had almost swept the state in the Lok Sabha polls in alliance with Ram Vilas Paswan's LJP and Upendra Kushwaha's RLSP, is hoping to repeat its performance and slamming Kumar for aligning with Lalu Prasad, a convict in fodder scam case.

New Delhi: The Election Commission is likely to announce the schedule of the high-voltage Bihar Assembly polls later this week or early next week. Sources in the poll panel said the schedule is likely to be announced later this week. If not this week, the schedule could be announced "early" next week.

From the day of the announcement to the first notification, EC usually keeps a gap of three weeks. But the gap could also be four weeks -- which is the outer limit.

While there was no word on the number of phases, sources said much would depend on the availability of central forces. EC feels that since Bihar is a 'stand alone' election, force availability would not be a problem.

Nitish Kumar-led alliance’s new worry: MIM could be the spoiler in Bihar
Another spoiler in the region could be the NCP which left the Grand Alliance after being allotted only three seats against its demand for 12.

Spelling fresh trouble for the Grand Alliance led by Nitish Kumar in the run-up to the Bihar assembly polls, the All India Majlis-e-Ittehad-ul Muslimeen or AIMIM of Asaduddin Owaisi looks set to contest 24 seats in the Seemanchal region of Kishanganj, Purnia, Katihar and Araria.

Another spoiler in the region could be the NCP which left the Grand Alliance after being allotted only three seats against its demand for 12. The Muslim-Yadav vote base, key to the Grand Alliance, make for almost 31 per cent of the population of Bihar. On Sunday, RJD chief Lalu Prasad cautioned supporters against BJP “moves” to split Yadav votes: “I have learnt that Narendra Modi has given the state BJP the task of making five Yadav leaders contest as independents in every assembly segment to split our votes. Modi has been also invoking Yaduvanshis. So beware of such moves.”

  • Samajwadi Party contesting alone is embarrassing for the grand alliance: Asaduddin Owaisi

And the AIMIM has just added to the worries of Nitish and Lalu. Of the 24 seats in Seemanchal, 10 account for Muslim-dominated areas.

A Kishanganj JD(U) leader said: “Owaisi does have appeal. He can disturb equations. We have communicated our concerns to the top leadership. The association of Akhtarul Iman, a popular local leader, is a matter of serious concern.”

NCP leader and Katihar MP Tariq Anwar too has said he is open to an alliance with any party other than the BJP. Sources said the NCP has been in talks with Pappu Yadav.

JD(U) national spokesperson K C Tyagi told The Indian Express: “Sharad Yadav has been in talks with NCP chief Sharad Pawar to save the alliance. As for Owaisi, I will not react until he officially announces his party’s candidates. But voters should be wary of BJP agents.”

Meanwhile, a senior BJP leader said: “We are going to give many tickets to Yadav candidates. We have in our ranks Yadav leaders in Nand Kishore Yadav, Bhupendra Yadav, Ram Kripal Yadav and Nityanand Rai. Our attempt is to prove that a sizeable number of Yadavs have turned to us since the last Lok Sabha elections. Youths born after Lalu’s ascension as chief minister are young voters, and most do not associate with him.”

The RJD chief’s concerns, the BJP leader, said were not unfounded: “Sample any rally of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The youth crowd is not casteist. Yadav youths are as much enamoured of the PM as other youths.” BJP leader Sushil Kumar Modi said: “We will surely give more tickets to Muslims. It is a myth that Muslims do not vote for us”.

He said Khagaria MP and LJP leader Choudhary Mehboob Ali Qaisar will attend the Prime Minister’s rally in Saharsa on Tuesday. The BJP expects Modi to announce a special package for Bihar.

BJP asked SP: Will you risk going with Cong in UP?
The BJP is waiting for a rebellion in the rival camp of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad once ticket distribution begins.


Ram Gopal Yadav
“Do you want to risk division of Muslim votes in Uttar Pradesh by going along with the Congress in Bihar?”

This is what SP leader Ram Gopal Yadav was asked by top BJP leaders he met earlier this week in the heart of New Delhi.

On Thursday, the SP walked out of the Nitish Kumar-led grand alliance in Bihar that includes the Congress.

It was conveyed to the SP leader that any truck with the Congress in Bihar could pose problems for his party in Uttar Pradesh where assembly polls are due in 2017. The SP counts on Muslim votes and the scenario of sharing this space with the Congress was underlined by BJP leaders.

• Mulayam walks out of Grand Alliance: More psychological dents than physical
• Bihar polls: Samajwadi Party quits Janata Parivar, to contest independently

After the sharing of seats in Bihar, SP leaders publicly said that allotment of 40 seats to the Congress was unacceptable to them. Adding “insult” to injury, the SP was offered only five seats. That too after the NCP walked out of the grand alliance.

The BJP, on the other hand, is waiting for a rebellion in the rival camp of Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad once ticket distribution begins.

BJP leaders point out that in the last election, Lalu’s RJD contested 180 seats but this time it has only 100. Where will the 80 candidates of the last election and the new ticket hopefuls of the RJD go, they ask. The BJP hopes to see multiple platforms, outside the BJP fold, because these can split the “secular” votes of the grand alliance.

In the countdown to the elections, BJP president Amit Shah’s strategy is working on a way forward through what the party believes will be a fight between four blocs — the grand alliance led by Nitish, the NDA alliance, an alliance of the NCP-SP and a coalition of parties led by Asaduddin Owaisi, Pappu Yadav and former NCP chief Nagmani.

On the Bihar map, the BJP has drawn three battle zones. Of the 243 assembly seats, 40 seats have been allotted to the Congress and the BJP believes these will be the “easiest to win” given the absence of Congress at the grassroots level.

The BJP thinks the 100 seats in the RJD kitty will be the real test, a challenge greater than the 100 being contested by the JD(U). It believes that Yadav voters of the RJD, traditionally against Nitish, could vote for SP and others in constituencies allotted to JD(U).

rather than the three usual suspects or the congress or aimim, i wish for a fourth front that comprises mayavati's party, the public socialist groups and any remnants of jayaprakash narayan's movement... this is what will take bihar out of backwardness.

which party they belong too?

You know rather than shouting at people how socialist is good just win some election in a state and improve that state people lives and then you will see a amazing thing.

Success don't need telling ,people will find out.

you see, the indian public is largely fickle-minded and on the whole not as enlightened as the people in other countries... so winning elections is no big deal in india.

but sometimes, some sections of indians do ask for change... this is true in case of aap, or when biharis had supported jayaprakash narayan, or where indians have supported the socialists ( whether the public ones or the direct-action ones ).

a historic mistake that the cpi-m made was when it decided against jyoti basu becoming prime minister in 1996.

a interesting find, ( Rajiv Gandhi twice asked Jyoti Basu to become PM: Book - The Times of India )... didn't expect rajiv gandhi of this.

so rather than we getting involved in complicated details of the present about the top parties in bihar, let us use this thread to think of the better possibilities... else, bihar and india will stay the same.

well if no socalist party is in bihar election then no point talking about that here , you can make socialism vs capitalism thread and i will contribute there but lets this thread about what's happening in this election rather than what could of happen.

I am still 18 but my parents hail from Bihar. And this is what they are saying about the present senario on ground.

1.If every thing goes as planned by Lalu then BJP is loosing the battle by about 10-15 seats.
2. No matter what Nitish will be a big looser as Yadavs are not going to vote for him in big numbers as his OBC vote bank will vote for Lalu.
3. If MIM comes to play even at a small level, its clean sweep for BJP.
4.No matter what, BJP will have the largest overall vote percentage.

PS:- I wish BJP does a clean sweep

So if everything doesn't go according to lalu,the Parivar nexus is set to lose??

 

[Sky lord]

If the alliance wins, how can they govern? This is a forced marriage of gigantic egos, created only to take on the BJP, surely Biharis can see what chaos awaits them.

My friends from bihar saying same thing , saying bjp might lose from 10-12 seat but if MIM come then might win.

It is sad to see the kind of regressive politics Congress is doing after their defeat in LS, they couldn't even take a comprehensive defeat gracefully and work constructively in an opposition role, opposition do question and oppose the government, it's their job. But what Congress is doing is very immature and harmful for the country's interest.

They are going through the motions. Protect the inner family at all costs!

Reminds me of Napoleon when Waterloo was ending. He threw in the imperial guard as a last ditch effort, keeping one unit to cover him as he retreated to a more secure vantage point.....but in his heart he knew the game was up.

Similarly, congress are throwing whats left of the kitchen sink to deflect as long as possible from the real issue of the sheer incompetence and resulting dissatisfaction from people of India to the inner family....but deep down Congress knows the game is up. Till that inner family goes, Congress is not going to have a chance ever again to be relevant at the national level.

loosing by 10-15 seats from majority isn't really that big, pretty sure the Parivar will crumble and parties will come to accomodate the gap.

With eye on polls, grants given to 609 madrassas
Madan Kumar,TNN | Sep 8, 2015, 10.58 PM IST

Madrassas|Madrassa Board|Kishanganj|Bihar Government|Araria

Patna: With an eye on the forthcoming assembly polls, Bihar government on Monday decided to provide grants-in-aid to 609 more madrassas across the state.

A notification issued by the education department said these 609 madrassas were selected from the list of 2,459 registered by Bihar State Madrassa Education Board. "All teachers and employees working on sanctioned posts in these 609 madrassas will be entitled to get salary with effect from September 1, 2015," the notification said.

"The salary to teachers and employees would be paid through the Madrassa Board from the grants-in-aid provided by the state government. The finance department has given its sanction to it," the notification reads.

Most of these 609 madrassas are located in districts like Araria, Darbhanga, East Champaran, West Champaran, Kishanganj, Katihar, Purnia, Madhubani, Sitamarhi, Supaul, Siwan, Samastipur and Banka.

Earlier on August 27, hundreds of madrassa teachers staged a protest march here against the non-payment of their dues for the past two years. Bihar State Madrassa Teachers' Association functionaries spearheading the agitation had then alleged that CM Nitish Kumar was not paying heed to their demands for salary payment. Patna police had resorted to baton charge to disperse the agitating teachers.

The association had then said that despite an allotment of Rs 120 crore by the government, teachers of only 205 madrassas were paid their salary in the past two years.
