This gradual decline in the RJD's presence and voter support is directly benefiting its opposition ahead of the elections scheduled for MayJune 2025.
The challenges facing the RJD were evident in the recently concluded bypolls for four seats, where the party failed to retain its own constituencies. In some cases, the RJD even slipped from the second position, highlighting its diminishing influence. This trend suggests that the RJD is struggling to maintain its foothold as the elections approach.
Another crucial factor influencing the political landscape in Bihar is the popularity of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar among women voters. Women play a significant role in Bihar's politics, and the JDU-led NDA government is actively working to secure their support. Nitish Kumar has previously introduced several initiatives benefiting women, such as the liquor ban, the cycle scheme for schoolgirls, and women's reservation, all of which have strengthened his appeal among female voters.
Additionally, Nitish Kumar is set to launch the Mahila Samvad Yatra this month to engage with women from all social backgrounds, listen to their concerns, and assure them of solutions.
