The central government’s decision to migrate 16.68 lakh official email accounts to Zoho’s cloud platform, at a total cost of Rs 180.10 crore, represents one of the larger administrative technology transitions undertaken in recent years. While this may appear to be a routine IT upgrade, the scale, structure and intent of the migration suggest that it is part...

BIHAR ASSEMBLY ELECTION –2025|||BULLETIN—1||12 OCT.2025

 

BIHAR ASSEMBLY ELECTION –2025

BULLETIN—1||12 OCT.2025

SARASIJ MAJUMDER



I was planning to cover this a little late, but one of my College Mate wanted  a First  Cut. I had to respect his wish.

This is the situation as of now:

1.0  Total Number of Seats under contest:- 243.

2.0  In the 243-member Bihar Assembly, the NDA currently holds 131 seats—BJP 80, JD(U) 45, HAM(S) 4, and support from two Independents—while the Opposition INDI--A bloc controls 111, led by RJD (77), followed by Congress (19), CPI(ML) (11), and CPI(M), CPI with two each.

3.0   The BJP and CM Nitish Kumar-led Janata Dal (United) are set to contest 101 seats each of the total 243 Assembly seats. Chirag Paswan-led LJP (Ram Vilas) are locked for 29 seats, followed by 6 seats each for Rashtriya Lok Morcha and Hindustani Awam Morcha.

4.0  Dynasty of RJD will meet Dynasty of Congress and will discuss sit sharing issue today at Delhi.

5.0  New Player will be  JAN SURAJ PARTY with PRASHANTKUMAR as leader. His party planned to contest on all seats. I think, his strategy is to make his party king maker.

6.0  Two main  rival groups are in the contest are—NDA,  and Mahagathbandan.

7.0  Seat sharing for Mahagathbandan   is not yet finalized, because CPI (ML), JMM and Congress want more seats than RJD intends to allot to them.

8.0  Selection of candidates are also not yet final—but my sources are of the opinion that both sides are willing to contest with last time winners, mostly.

9.0  Young Tejaswi is more favoured as CM face, than Veteran Nitish, but Nitish is second choice.

10.0          Once nominations are finalized, I will fine tune my forecast.

11.0          PK announced to fight against Tejaswi  from high-profile seat ‘Raghopur’-which has elected  two chief ministers--Lalu  and his Wife, at separate elections. I am waiting to see him file Nomination from there.

What Emerge:

An analysis of the five surveys reviewed by me, pointed to following factors that could explain this "paradox". The factors are:

  1. 1.      NDA's broader coalition is compensating for anti-incumbency against the Nitish government.
  2. 2.      Mahagathbandan leads amongst Muslim-Yadav and Scheduled Caste voters, while those from the Upper caste, NYOBC and EBC choose the NDA. Women are more in favour of NDA and Nitish.
  3. 3.      Opposition vote is splitting between Mahagathbandan (same as Indi-Pindi alliance) , Jan Suraj, and others.
  4. 4.      Some voters who may have personal disliking to the present government may still vote  the NDA due to caste/regional factors or no better alternative.
  5. 5.      Despite Tejaswi’s leadership, the RJD is still influenced by misdeeds of  Lalu Prasad Yadav and other family members, some of whom face legal challenges, including the ongoing ED probe in the land-for-jobs scam.
  6. 6.      सरकार ने कई नई मुफ्त योजनाओं (Free Schemes) की घोषणा की है, जिसमें महिलाओं के खातों में ₹10,000 की राशि भेजने की योजना सबसे ज्यादा चर्चा में है।This will surely help NDA.
  7. 7.      Tejashwi committed Government service of one member per family, if elected—anybody will see this is a ruse only.
  8. 8.      Internal family disputes often force Tejashwi to divert attention from party and alliance strategy to managing internal conflicts.
  9. 9.      NDA government led by CM Nitish Kumar is facing "some anti-incumbency" and yet, the BJP-JDU-HAM alliance leads with 41.3% vote share. This may increase with time.

I think, even if by a thin margin, Nitish  with NDA will have the Last Hurrah!!  

 

Surveys Reviewed:

1.0  C-Voter’s survey released last week.

2.0  JANSATTA, दैनिक जागरण.

3.0  Commentary of Pradeep Singh.

4.0  Informations collected from personal contacts of both the political alliances.

  REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER What a Leader, and People can do. SARASIJ MAJUMDER   REVIVAL OF ARVARI RIVER— Arvari river is a small river, may be the smallest, in the ALWAR,   Indian state of Rajasthan. The 90 km.   long river flows through the Alwar District of Rajasthan. It got dried, and   was revived in 1990. It remained dry for 60 years. The turnaround started in 1986, when people of Bhanota- Kolyala village with   the help of Tarun Bharat Sangha, managed by Rajendra Singh, constructed a   JOHAD, (earthen check dam) at the source of the dried river; following this,   villages that lay in its catchment area, and along the dried river bed, they also built tiny earthen dams, the largest being a 244 mt. long and 7 mt. High Concrete dam, most of them were in the Aravalli hills; eventually when the number of dams reached 375, the river started to flow again in 1990, after remaining dry for over 60 years. Villagers talk about Arvari's rebi...

  OPERATION SINDOOR ECONOMIC LOSSES OF PAKISTAN SARASIJ MAJUMDER It will be difficult for Pakistan to come out of the loss it suffered in this 4-day KINETIC WAR, fought only in the airspace, involving Fighter Jets, Missiles, and DRONES as attacking weapons. Pakistan claims that J-10C jets, equipped with PL-15 missiles, were used in combat, and that they downed multiple Indian Rafale and other fighter jets. GOI has not accepted any loss of Fighter Jet. No image of Rafael lost is available. GOI is not declaring the HITS it inflicted upon Pakistan. Even then, I have pieced together the information and provided a picture. A. The expenses due to direct losses of HARDWARE may be divided into the following items: - 1.0 Fighter Jets: -- May be 10 Numbers. 4-F16 as a combat loss. 2 Nos. Mirage 2000 and 4 Nos. F16, possibly due to the hit it received when parked on the Air Bases. However, this figure could be more.   Pakistan's retired Air Marshal Masood Akhtar public...
