Bihar's Caste War: Modi's EBC Card vs Mahagathbandhan's Dy CM Gambit in Poll Battle
The focus of this special report is on the escalating political battle in Bihar, with key figures like Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Tejashwi Yadav, and Nitish Kumar vying for power. At the heart of the conflict is the influential 36% Extremely Backward Classes (EBC) vote bank, which has both the NDA and the Mahagathbandhan making strategic moves. Amidst the alliance clashes, a Congress leader stated, 'Mukesh Sany would be one of the Deputy Chief Ministers. We will have Deputy Chief Ministers from the Congress.' This statement has exposed potential fault lines within the opposition Mahagathbandhan, which had projected Mukesh Sahni as its Deputy Chief Minister face. Meanwhile, PM Modi, after paying homage to socialist icon Karpoori Thakur in Samastipur, has accused the Congress of attempting to appropriate the legacies of past leaders. Tejashwi Yadav continues to question the NDA's leadership, while the PM has reaffirmed that the alliance will fight under Nitish Kumar's leadership.
