Patna, Sep 26

With the Bihar Assembly elections fast approaching, the political atmosphere in the state is charged with activity by different parties.

The NDA and the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) are intensifying campaigns as Union Home Minister Amit Shah begins a two-day visit to Bihar on Friday.

He will address a BJP workers’ convention in Bettiah (West Champaran), followed by an election strategy meeting with state leaders in Patna.

On Saturday, he will visit Sarairanjan in Samastipur and Forbesganj in Araria district for more workers’ conventions.

The BJP has already held a key meeting in Patna with core committees from all districts to finalise candidate selection.

Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, appointed as incharge of the Bihar polls, is expected to play a pivotal role, as he did in previous elections in Bihar and West Bengal.

On Friday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually release the first installment of Rs 7,500 crore under the Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojana (Chief Minister’s Women Employment Scheme), transferring Rs 10,000 each into the accounts of 7.5 million Jivika women in Bihar. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar will also participate in the event.

Nitish Kumar continues his whirlwind district tours, inaugurating and laying foundation stones for development projects worth thousands of crores daily.

His high-profile 'Pragati Yatra' signals that the JD(U) is fully geared up for the electoral showdown.

The Congress Party held a working committee meeting in Patna on Wednesday to strategise outreach to the Extremely Backward Classes (EBCs) and launched a statewide signature campaign against alleged vote theft, building momentum from Rahul Gandhi’s 'Voter Adhikar Yatra'.

On Friday, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra will participate in a Mahila Samvad program in Patna’s Sadakat Ashram, the venue of the recent Congress Working Committee meeting. After that, she will address an election rally in Motihari, the district headquarters of East Champaran.

With campaign rallies, welfare schemes, and high-stakes strategy sessions unfolding simultaneously, Bihar is witnessing an unprecedented political churn, setting the stage for a fierce electoral contest in the coming weeks.

Same old pattern - elections come and suddenly there are thousands of crores for development projects. Where was this urgency for the past 5 years? We need consistent development, not election-time drama.

Amit Shah's visit shows how crucial Bihar is for national politics. The BJP is leaving no stone unturned. But I wish they'd focus more on job creation than just welfare schemes.

Interesting to see Priyanka Gandhi's involvement. Women leaders might bring a different perspective to the campaign. Hope the focus remains on real issues facing Bihar's development.

Nitish Kumar's 'Pragati Yatra' feels like too little too late. Bihar needs fresh leadership and new ideas, not the same politicians switching alliances every few years.

As a Bihari, I just want whichever government comes to power to focus on education and healthcare. All these political rallies won't matter if our children can't get quality education. 🏫

The scale of political activity in Bihar is fascinating. 7.5 million women beneficiaries - that's massive! Hope the implementation is as impressive as the announcement.
