PK In Bihar Politics Likely To Backfire?

It's common in the discussions of voters of Bigar that the BJP, to teach lessons to JD(U) and destabilise the mahagathbandhan, Prashant Kishore was launched with fanfare, first as a social reformer and later as the leader of a political party “Jansuraj Party” source says. A new thought, one that transcended caste and faith, was initially promoted by PK, a source says, based on development and promising to revive the lost glory. PK got an excellent response due to new ideas and a promise to develop the state, the people fade up with law and order problems, lack of employment opportunities and poor infrastructure saw in them a new light and his troupe started increasing day by day and became a political force to be reckoned with in Bihar politics source says. Especially the upper caste, intellectuals and youth, want to do something good for the state, joined his party but as he belongs to the upper caste, the hesitation amongst the backwards, extreme backwards and Dalits, Adivasi could not come out in his favour source says. It's almost known to everyone that the upper caste supports the BJP, the leaning of the upper caste towards the Jansuraj would automatically share the staunch upper caste votes of the BJP, an ultimate loss of votes source says.

Moreover, the selective distribution of tickets also dampens the chances of a BJP source says. The constituencies of Bhagalpur, Kumharara and Sitamari are the examples where the best available and winnable candidates have been given tickets source says. In these constituencies the NDA and I.N.D.I.A., though in fray but their distribution is based on some other pressing causes of the parties of the coalition source says. The people in general consider that 10% to 15% voters are likely to support Jansuraj, which automatically affects the voting pattern of the BJP rather than JD(U) and other parties source says.
