The political heat of Bihar assembly elections is hot. From Lalu Prasad Yadav to Ram Vilas Paswan and Nitish Kumar, who came out of the politics of opposition to the Emergency, there was a new experiment in Bihar politics for five decades. In the politics of Bihar, there is a fire test of young leaders on the one hand, on the other hand, the political of new parties is seen outside, due to which new equations are also seen to be formed. Apart from Nitish Kumar -led NDA and Tejashwi Yadav -led grand alliance, many political options are in front of the public in Bihar.
On Sunday, the Pan Samaj showed its political strength in Patna’s Gandhi Maidan. All India Paan Federation President E IP Gupta announced the formation of the Indian Inquilab Party. In this way, four new political parties have been formed in Bihar in the last seven months. The question arises whether the existence of new political parties in Bihar is just a coincidence or is there any political experiment?
A new party named Indian Inquilab Party in Bihar
All India Paan Federation President E IP Gupta announced to unite the people of his society at Gandhi Maidan in Patna and form a new political party, which has been named the Indian Inklab Party. He said that till now the time has come to bring the voice of the marginalized sections to power. In the presence of thousands of people, he made it clear that this party has come to create history not only to contest elections. With this, the power of Paan society will now get a new way in politics and there will be a big change in the politics of Bihar. He also clarified that this rally is not only a power of power, but a historic attempt to bring the society divided over one platform over the years.
Directly challenging the old political forces of Bihar, IP Gupta said that Jitan Ram Manjhi, Lalu Yadav, Nitish Kumar or Ram Vilas Paswan strengthened the politics of all these leaders only when their society unitedly supported. Now that societies like Tanti-Tatwa have woken up, which were not only put on political marginalized but also from which their reservation was taken away, the same society will now become its own political force. He said that the Indian Inquilab Party will get firmly on every seat and will bring a radical change in Bihar politics. He said that reservation, respect and participation in power will be achieved through struggle.
4 new parties formed in seven months out of new parties
With the increase in the political stir of the assembly elections in Bihar, new parties have come out. In the last seven months, four new political parties have been formed in the politics of Bihar. On October 2, 2024, Prashant Kishore formed the Jan Suraj Party and announced to contest all the seats in Bihar. After this, RCP Singh, who was close to CM Nitish Kumar, formed the second political party, announced his new party in the name of AAP’s voice. Former Central RCP Singh announced his party on 12 November 2024. RCP Singh joined BJP after being dropped from JDU, but after Nitish Kumar returned to NDA, he decided to form his party.
Former IPS Shivdeep Vamnrao Lande, who resigned from the Indian Police Service, has formed a new party named Hind Sena. He has formally announced the new political party on 8 April last week and has also announced to field his candidates in all 243 seats in the Bihar Legislative Assembly. They themselves will also contest elections. Lande was desperate to get into politics for a long time. Earlier there were speculations that he can join Prashant Kishore’s public, but he has formed his party. There itself. E IP Gupta, president of the fourth party All India Paan Federation in Bihar, has formed a new political party named Indian Inquilab Party.
Old vs new players in political arena
Now with the arrival of the Indian Inquilab Party, it is clear that the contest in Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 will not be limited to the old players only. This time the election is going to be quite interesting because this time the public is going to get a chance to vote more than before. While IP Gupta and RCP Singh have formed a political way to find a political path with the help of their respective ethnic vote bank, Shivdeep Lande and Prashant Kishore say that their aim is to give a clean system to go away from caste, religion and votebank politics. Not only this, Bihar needs a new leadership, which talks about honesty, energy and development, not to seduce the public with old slogans.
Among the small parties in Bihar, Chirag Paswan’s LJP, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustan Awam Morcha is with the NDA, which is headed by Nitish Kumar and the BJP remains a strong charioteer. On the other hand, Congress, Mukesh Sahni VIP Left party is with the grand alliance led by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav. So far, the election in Bihar continued between the NDA vs. Grand Alliance, but this time the way new parties have been formed.
Will small and new parties feed political guls?
In Bihar, four new parties have come out in the state apart from both the major coalitions, so many small parties are already in the fray. Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM is also preparing to contest elections with full power. Apart from this, Chandrashekhar Azad’s Azad Samaj Party and Mayawati’s BSP are also preparing to contest elections in Bihar. Prashant Kishore’s party Jan Suraj made his presence in the recent by-elections. However, she proved to be only a votecutter and because of this the Grand Alliance (especially RJD) had suffered a lot in the by -elections. The NDA made a clean sweep in the by -elections in 4 seats. Similarly, in the 2020 election, Owaisi had spoiled the game of grand alliance in the area of Seemanchal.
The manner in which four new parties have come into existence to beat the 2025 election ground, the discussion has started from whom they will harm them? RJD already remains confident in the youth. Prashant Kishore’s party Jan Suraj is also trusting more on the youth, while Shivdeep Lande is also expected from young voters. In this way, many players will be in the fray for a quarter of votes, obviously when a quarter of the voters are divided into all three political parties, the NDA can get the most benefit. All the parties that have come into existence in Bihar so far, their eyes are on the vote bank of the opposition.
Prashant Kishore is engaged in the youth as well as Dalit and Muslim equations. Owaisi is already seen openly doing Muslim politics. If we look at the politics of Shivdeep Lande, then his eyes are also on the youth and the votes who are considered angry with the NDA. IP Gupta has also shown political attitude by forming an Indian Inquilab Party, it is clear that on which vote bank is his eye. Especially, they are trying to become a kingmaker by following the votes of the most backward classes. Not only this, Gupta has taken Lalu Yadav and Nitish on a political target to help the Tanti-Tatwa society in the rally, it is clear that what is their political condition and direction?
