After Nitish Kumar’s separation from the NDA, the BJP is re-framing its strategy in Bihar. While the BJP has been out of power due to Nitish’s shock, it is also seeing this as an opportunity to expand on its own.
This is the reason why the big leaders of the party have increased the focus on Bihar. Amit Shah is about to visit Bihar and before that the leaders have geared up. Particularly, the BJP is focusing on the Seemanchal region, where the possibilities of polarization are high. Like UP and Jharkhand, BJP has started working on a strategy to move forward in Bihar on its own. Amit Shah is going to visit Bihar on 23 September. Before that, Smriti Irani is also coming to Patna on September 18 for the launch of the book.
BJP state president Sanjay Jaiswal said, ‘Smriti Irani’s visit is different, while Amit Shah is coming as part of BJP’s public relations campaign. Programs in Seemanchal were pre-determined. Now work on his future plans will also be done. If some people want to see everything from the angle of caste and religion then what can we do. Our work will not stop. Jaiswal said that September 17 is the birthday of PM Narendra Modi. After that BJP will organize Seva Saptah for 15 days.
During this, the workers will meet all the people. Public relations will be done. Let us inform that last year CM Nitish Kumar himself had called for 30 lakh corona vaccines in a single day on the occasion of PM Modi’s birthday. Nitish Kumar himself went to a vaccination camp. Now Amit Shah has made preparations to tour the Muslim-dominated Seemanchal area. During this, Amit Shah will participate in a meeting of BJP workers. Apart from this, he will also address rallies in Purnia and Kishanganj.
Amit Shah’s visit is being seen as the beginning of BJP’s Mission 2024 in Bihar. The BJP claims that it is focusing on winning 35 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar in 2024. The NDA alliance of BJP, JDU had won 39 seats in the 2019 general election. But this time the equations are completely different.
BJP is different, while JDU has formed an alliance with a total of 6 parties including RJD, Congress, HAM, CPI. Bihar’s sociologist DM Diwakar said, ‘The fact is that after the separation of Nitish Kumar, the BJP has started working on the strategy ahead. It will try to do polarization in the area of Seemanchal, where there is a large number of Muslim population. PLC/GT
