BJP opts for 'complementary' approach in poll-bound Bihar
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|March 10, 2025
(Ram Vilas), former CM Jitan Ram Manjhi-led Hindustani Awami Morcha (Secular), and Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) are the other BJP allies in the state.

"Our leadership has already indicated that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will fight all elections together; it happened in Maharashtra and Delhi, and now the template will be repeated in Bihar as well. We have also stated that the face of the election will be CM Nitish Kumar, and the entire NDA cadre will jointly campaign and contest," a senior BJP functionary said, adding the upcoming polls will "prove the stability and cohesion of our alliance".
The leader indicated that while the party high command wanted the BJP to emerge as a key player in Bihar — where caste dictates electoral preferences and therefore, the outcome — it has opted for "complementing" the allies that have a hold over a significant electorate in the state.
