Bihar has traditionally been a backward state, with highly localised and caste based politics ruling the roost. It is because of nature of its politics, and most major national parties choose to partner with the local strong party rather than going the whole hog in the state.
However, the past few month's experience of the BJP with extremely strong floor management from Congress in both the houses of the parliament, has made Narendra Modi realise that he needs good numbers in the Rajya Sabha, if he has any hopes of passing legislation in his tenure, and actually start doing something good with it.
He needs it, and desperately so, given the promises he made during last Lok Sabha election campaigning.
This is the reason we find BJP trained its guns to Bihar, with more than 47 rallies being addressed by Prime Minister Modi in spite of his tight travelling schedule and managing the African nation's meet in Delhi.
The bookies have bet towards a win from the BJP and they making a credible government in Bihar. While Nitish and Lalu are hoping they will be able to divide votes, and be able to come on top.
Stock market pundits are betting a sensex swing of 4-6% based on BJP's win or loss!
Who will take Bihar, is anybody's guess as yet. But definitely, nerves are showing.
