JDU has changed the ticket process for Bihar assembly elections. Now CM Nitish Kumar himself will interview the candidates. The ticket will be decided on the basis of the candidate’s work and his grip among the public, so that only the winning faces enter the field.
Patna: There is going to be a big blast after Dussehra in the politics of Bihar. This time JDU has made up its mind to completely change the ticket distribution process for the assembly elections. So far, the news is bad for the leaders who get tickets with the recommendation of the equation, caste mathematics and organization, because this time the candidates will have to give ‘interview’ in front of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar themselves. The Chief Minister himself will finalize the candidates.
CM will take one-to-one test
According to sources, Nitish Kumar will sit directly in the JDU office and talk to potential candidates and existing MLAs. He will be asked how much work done in his area? What role did he play in bringing the government’s plans to village? And how much is their real grip among the public? That is, the ticket path will be difficult for the leader who fails the public report card.
First time such experiment
Till now, ticket sports in JDU were limited to organization and core committee. But this time Nitish himself has given a clear message by taking command that now only the face will enter the field, who can win. It is considered to be Nitish’s mastersstroke within the party.
Exactness among candidates, enthusiasm among workers
This new initiative of Nitish has increased restlessness among potential candidates. Those who want tickets will now have to face the Chief Minister directly. But this is a big relief for the workers, because now they feel that the CM will directly see their hard work and ground work.
Pressure on opposition
Political experts believe that this step of Nitish may push the opposition to the backfoot. While the RJD and BJP are engaged in strengthening the organizations, the JDU has started giving a message of transparent ticket distribution among the public.
Long exercise, big effect
This process starting after Dussehra will last for 2–3 days. From morning to night, CM will meet the candidates and the ticket will be decided on their investigation. It is clear that this time Nitish’s intention is clear that bets will be played on the winning faces.
