Bihar: Caste survey vs Modi factor to decide Lok Sabha numbers

The Bihar 2024 elections, marked by caste politics and alliances, could redefine political landscapes. The 'Mahagathbandhan' aims to leverage the caste census, hiking quotas for OBCs, SCs, and STs. Nitish Kumar's relevance hinges on this, while the BJP tests its dominance sans JD(U) support. Past elections' dynamics shift with alliances like JD(U)-RJD, altering the electoral calculus. Caste survey revelations prompt seat-sharing dilemmas, shaping strategies amidst caste-based demands for political representation.
