Bihar Lok Sabha Election Results 2014
The 40 Lok Sabha constituencies of Bihar were a deciding factor for who holds power in the 16th Lok Sabha. The major political players in the state are the Rashtriya Janata Party, the Janata Dal (United), the Lok Janshakti Party, besides the prominent presence of the two national parties, the Congress and the BJP.
Bihar as a state of India holds pivotal importance so far as the vote-bank is concerned, as the bulk of the population basically comprises lower-caste, lower-class and Muslims, who form the minority of the country. The RJD, headed by Lalu Prasad Yadav, claims to be a secular front representing the minority. However, it was clearly seen this time that Yadav does not commands the same popularity, after he was found guilty and jailed in the fodder scam. The RJD had also made it clear that it would support the Congress. Ram Vilas Paswan of the LJP had, on the other hand, made alliance with the BJP ahead of the polls. Nitish Kumar of the JD(U), which also claims to be the face of a non-communal state of Bihar, was indicating preferences to towards a Third Front, along with other secular forces.
According to some of the opinion polls, namely India Today-CVoter opinion poll and India TV survey held in the first months of this year, a close fight between the BJP and the RJD was expected in Bihar. While the BJP was expected to bag 14 to 22 seats, the RJD was expected to win 6-14 seats. According to the opinion polls, the JD (U) was not expected to perform well, bagging 4-9 seats. Although the CNN-IBN survey indicated that the JD (U) would bag between 7-13 seats. The Congress was expected to perform poorly, compared with the last general election in 2009, due to increasing instances of corruption. The one party that was being looked out was the LJP. After its alliance with the BJP, the LJP was expected to turn out to be the dark horse in the state.
