Return of dynasts on poll turf

IN the electoral politics of a state like Bihar, which despite its lack of significant economic or educational development, remains one of India's most politically conscious regions, even today it looks difficult to overlook the continuing influence of dynastic dominance when fielding candidates.

This Assembly election too, the state's political landscape is heavily shaped by a significant number of leaders in the fray with dynastic background from across party lines, including the BJP and the RJD.

Contrary to what PM Narendra Modi once remarked during a 2024 parliamentary debate"Parties being run by families are a threat to democracy"Bihar's politics continues to be marked by the dominance of dynastic figures. A noticeable number of candidates from politically well-known families are contesting on the tickets of all major parties, including the BJP and the RJD.
