The 2015 Assembly elections in Bihar has seen intense campaigning in Bihar. The elections are a direct fight between Nitish Kumar and Narendra Modi- led BJP, with Lalu Prasad saying that even if RJD gets the majority of seats, he will pitch for Nitish Kumar as the chief minister.
BJP too seems confident in its approach, with leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi claiming that the party will win in Bihar. BJP probably is taking the increase in voter turnout to its side, hoping that it may indicate that people in the state want a change.
BJP hasn’t played with any key state leader as the front runner. Instead it had Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who campaigned extensively in over 30 rallies in Bihar.
West Bengal and Tamil Nadu elections are next year, and therefore, the Bihar elections are essential for the BJP, which had won many elections after coming to power last year but lost to AAP in Delhi.
Given that there are UP elections in 2017, BJP would want to retain its winning streak.
