It looks like the Bihar Assembly Election 2025 will be one of the most important political fights in recent years. The rapid departure of the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) from the Mahagathbandhan has made the election situation even more complicated. Reports of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) running candidates against Congress nominees in some constituencies add to the tension. This shows that the opposition unity is not as strong as it seems. They think that these changes could give the BJP a big edge as it goes into the elections with a united front.
The opposition is shaken up by JMM’s departure
Bihar Assembly Election 2025: It was a surprise when JMM decided to drop out of the Bihar elections, especially since they had originally said they were going to run on their own. Mahagathbandhan chiefs have had to rethink their plan because of this sudden change. If JMM isn’t there, it could weaken the opposition’s overall vote and change how seats are shared. At the same time, the BJP may benefit from the chaos, getting a military edge while the opposition is in a state of chaos.
“Friendly Rivalry” or “Open Conflict” Between RJD and Congress?
As a result of the RJD running candidates against Congress nominees in several districts, tensions within the Mahagathbandhan have grown. Ajay Kushwaha in Vaishali, Shivani Shukla in Lalganj, and Rajnish Bharti in Kahalgaon are all running for important jobs. It is planned that Arun Shah will run against the Vikassheel Insan Party in Tarapur and Gaura Bauram. Congress leaders are worried that RJD’s actions could make it harder for Dalits to be heard. RJD officials say that differences like this happen all the time in coalitions and stress the need for ongoing communication between allies.
The main benefit of the BJP
The opposition is having a hard time staying together, which makes the BJP look like it has a great chance to take advantage of the situation. Analysts say that cracks in the Mahagathbandhan could lead to votes for the BJP, especially in places where the opposition is split. As the deadline for nominations gets closer, BJP leaders are keeping a close eye on what’s going on, hoping to use the opposition’s internal fights to help their own chances of winning the election.
Bihar’s political scene is changing very quickly. The departure of JMM and the growing split between RJD and Congress have made things less certain in the run-up to the 2025 assembly polls. Ultimately, how the opposition handles these internal fights could change how voters act, which could help the BJP’s chances in key areas. The next few weeks will be very important for voters and political watchers alike as they try to figure out the state’s political future.
