Every statement and prediction has its own meaning in the politics of Bihar, and when it comes to the prestigious Bankipur assembly seat of Patna, the excitement increases even more. Amidst the ongoing discussions regarding the upcoming elections on this high-profile seat, senior and experienced leader of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) Shivanand Tiwari has given a big statement which has sparked a fresh debate in the political circles. While openly talking about the electoral equations of Bankipur, he has made such a prediction which has made it clear that the contest on this seat, which is traditionally considered a stronghold of BJP, is going to be very interesting and unexpected this time. After this statement of Shivanand Tiwari, political pundits of the state have once again started calculating the mood of the caste-based and urban voters here.
Ignoring traditional equations, eyes fixed on new political dimensions
Bankipur Assembly seat has long been considered a bastion of urban voters and a safe fort of the Bharatiya Janata Party, where breaking into has always been a big challenge for the opposition parties. However, Shivanand Tiwari believes that this time the nature of elections is not going to be limited only to traditional party victory or defeat, but many new equations are emerging at the grassroots level. His assessment is based on the fact that voters in urban areas are now giving more importance to local issues, pace of development and aspirations for change rather than voting on the basis of name or party alone. This is the reason why new strategies are being made internally within the political parties regarding what should be considered the main contest in Bankipur.
Politics heats up after prediction, will the tables turn?
This prediction made by a senior political personality like Shivanand Tiwari has further increased the heat in the election field of Bankipur. On one hand, while the ruling party and the NDA camp is trying its best to maintain its winning streak, the opposition parties are seeing this statement as a big ideological weapon in their favor. As the election dates are coming closer, this seat is becoming one of the hottest seats in Bihar, where everyone’s eyes are on every political activity. In the coming days, it will be very exciting to see which candidate the people of Bankipur crown this time and how accurate this prediction of Shivanand Tiwari proves to be in terms of election results.
