BJP changes elections strategy for Bihar Elections

BJP appears to be taking very big risk in the middle of the Bihar Assembly elections. Suddenly, it changes its strategy for facing remaining three phases of assembly elections. So far, BJP is mainly relying upon Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s image, his influence on the people and on his campaigning. But now, it brings the local leaders to forward positions in place of Narendra Modi and assigned them the task of winning the elections on their own strengths.

BJP is scheduled to conduct around 250 meetings in 50 constituencies for elections campaigning for the third phase of elections. Only state and local leaders will conduct meetings scheduled between October 17th and 28th. Even later, BJP National President Amit Shah will conduct 9 public meetings, Home Minister Rajnath Singh will conduct 6 public meetings whereas Prime Minister Narendra Modi will conduct only 4 meetings.

It gives the beleaguered Janata Parivar a new life in the elections. Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and RJD President Lalu Prasad Yadav both are trying to convince the people of the state that Narendra Modi withdraws from elections campaigning as he realized BJP’s defeat is inevitable. Lalu Prasad is highlighting the point that BJP has not declared its Chief Minister candidate only because of this reason.

However, BJP president Amit Shah rubbished their arguments and asserted that BJP is going to win these elections with absolute majority. He asked Lalu Prasad whether he is afraid to face BJP state leaders. BJP deploys state president Sushil Kumar Modi, former Chief Minister of the state Jitan Ram Manjhi, Central Ministers Rajnath Singh, Ramvilas Paswan, Ravishankar Prasad, its senior leaders Rajeev Prathap Rudy, Upendra Kushwa, CP Talkur, Nanda Kishore Yadav and others for campaigning in the third phase of elections.
