While CPI (ML) is demanding release of 6 supporters convicted under TADA, BJP's Rajiv Pratap Rudi wants ex MP Prabhunath Singh out & Sushil Modi is seeking reprieve for prohibition law flouters.
BJP has replaced four state presidents to court Nitish Kumar’s voter base in Bihar, prevent infighting in Rajasthan, renew its organisational structure in Odisha & lead charge against AAP in Delhi.
The upper caste Bhumihars, part of the BJP’s core vote-base, have been getting increasingly alienated from the party and are pledging their allegiance to traditional ‘enemy’ RJD.
JD(U) has demanded two berths in the Union cabinet & as many MoS positions. In 2019, Nitish had rejected BJP’s offer of ‘symbolic representation’ in the Union cabinet.
The NDA campaign is now revolving around the ‘Jungle Raj’ of Lalu and Rabri but RJD says BJP & JD(U) trying to obfuscate from ‘real issues’ of unemployment and corruption.
Bihar DGP Gupteshwar Pandey, who opted for VRS, says his actions related to FIR lodged in Patna in Sushant Singh Rajput case had anything to do with him joining politics.
BJP had demanded action under wildlife protection laws against Lalu Prasad when 2 peacocks were brought to his residence in 2017. RJD now accuses BJP of double standards.
A theme has not yet emerged for BJP & people see lack of a contest, which makes it unexciting. For all these reasons, 2024 is turning out to be an unexpectedly theme-less election.
