Bihar Elections: New Party Jan Suraaj Aims to Divide Youth Vote
Bihar's upcoming elections in 2024 are set to witness a new player, the Jan Suraaj Party, led by renowned strategist Prashant Kishor. This could potentially divide votes from both the ruling NDA coalition and the opposition Mahagathbandhan, depending on the campaign's trajectory.
The NDA, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, is relying on his popularity and promises of industrialization and job opportunities to attract Bihar's youth voters. However, this demographic is known for its skepticism towards tall promises and preference for tangible actions on the ground.
The youth vote, particularly those aged 18-29, could significantly influence caste calculations, alliance support, and even the women's vote. Almost a fourth of Bihar's total electors fall into this age group, making their impact strategic.
Anti-incumbency sentiment against Nitish Kumar is prevalent among youth, but this may not necessarily translate to unhappiness with the NDA as a whole. The Mahagathbandhan, led by RJD's Tejashwi Yadav, is focusing on local employment opportunities to appeal to the youth, emphasizing job guarantees.
The political attitudes and aspirations of Bihar's youth have evolved since the 2010s, making them a crucial factor in the upcoming 2024 presidential election. Their belief in the intention and capability of political parties will be key in deciding the outcome. The entry of Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party adds another layer of complexity to the electoral landscape.
