Big Bang Nitish

So Nitish is back with a bang in Bihar, in spite of all propaganda made by Lalu, Ram Vilas and Congress against the Nitish Kumar’s regime, people gave their verdict to NDA in Bihar. As result shows that there is no opposition left in Bihar for next five years. Definitely it’s a very good sign for NDA alliance as in Indian Politics it use to be said who so ever will rule in Bihar and UP will rule in central too, though right now its not there but at least it gives some hope to BJP for the coming years and also it will help them in regaining their position in Uttar Pradesh.

Everyone is saying people of Bihar have voted this time for change and cast system did not work this time, as people wanted development and security instead of Castism. This year the percentage of voting in Bihar was around 49% and the Vote Share is:

Vote Share Percentage

2005 2010

JD(U) 20.46% 22.43%

BJP 15.65% 16.36%

RJD 23.6% 18.92%

LJP 11.1% 06.76%

INC 06% 08.4%

Others 23.34% 27.13%

This vote share shows that NItish Kumar has increased around 2 % from last election and BJP has gained around .75% which is a very nominal increase. JD(U) + BJP combined Vote Share this time is 38.8% votes, or 2.7% more in comparison to 2005 Election. though seats have increased almost 40% in comparison to 2005 election.

Vote Share percentage is often confusing because it really never gives you the right picture of the voters. As Nitish has gof 206 Seats out 243 Seats in Bihar Assembly and the Vote Share Percentage is only 38.8%.
