Bihar Elections 2025 | From Crime Control To Cultural Sympathy: The Nitish Factor In Bihar Election
The discussion focuses on Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's current political standing amid visible signs of aging and speculation about his health. Analysts note that while he appears less energetic and relies on scripted speeches, opposition parties like the RJD and Congress are refraining from attacking his health, fearing a sympathy wave among voters. Despite Bihar's continuing economic struggles-especially its lowest per capita income-many still credit Nitish for law and order improvements and infrastructure development compared to the Lalu Yadav era. The conversation also highlights how Nitish has maintained a delicate balance between BJP's communal politics and RJD's caste politics, earning him respect across divides.
