The New Indian Express|May 09, 2024

Caste factor in Nityanand Rai hat-trick bid

Shah's remarks came at an election rally in Bihar's Ujiarpur, from where Rai is trying to hit a hat-trick.

Shah's words carry weight, but Rai needs to surmount anti-incumbency and get the caste equation right. His opponent is ex-state minister and RJD leader Alok Kumar Mehta, who is seeking to avenge his 2014 defeat at the hands of Rai.

The fight is keenly watched for the contrasting electoral strategies. While the BJP is focusing on national issues, the RJD is raising unresolved local problems.
