Re: Modi’s party concedes Bihar elections
The politics in UP-Bihar is about patronage and circulation of state patronage, it is not Delhi, where politics is of principles. It is Bihar, where politics is what it always was. A yadav will vote for Lalu, so that he can ask for state patronage to enroll his son in police. There is no fight for secularism as you may interpret.
Nitish promised Berozghari Bhatta of Rs 1000/month for 18 month. This is Bihar. Such offer have no value in Delhi.
If BJP ever got decimated it was Delhi and it was on principles instead of UP-Bihar type Chonch-Jabda politics.
Hate to agree with you on this one :D.
From another perspective the same people voted for BJP in the Lok Sabha elections while they consciously kept the BJP out this time. There should have been some logic to the turnaround apart from the caste equations.
