In Bihar, on the pretext of Emperor Ashoka’s birth anniversary, attempts are being made to solve the Luv-Kush equation. Upendra Kushwaha is trying to break into JDU’s core vote bank on the pretext of celebrating Emperor Ashoka’s birth anniversary. This vote bank has always been with Nitish Kumar. But earlier ACP Singh, Upendra Kushwaha and now BJP has made Samrat Chaudhary, the state president and is trying to break into this vote bank.
Kushwaha is the largest caste after Yadav in Bihar. In such situation, every party is trying to bring the Kushwaha vote bank with them in the 2024 Lok Sabha and 2025 assembly elections. After joining the grand alliance, Nitish Kumar is also afraid of losing his core vote bank because somewhere or the other, the Kushwaha community is not comfortable to come with Lalu Yadav.
