Has Lalu Prasad derailed Narendra Modi juggernaut in Bihar?

lalu is definitely on rise .. but he is eating into vote share of Mr Nitish Kumar. BJP+dalit combo will sweep bihar this time!
 
. .
Lalu is gaining but nothing close to BJP. BJP made enough leads in first 2 rounds while BJP guys are doing okay for rest of the phases. Expecting close to 25 for NDA(BJP 21+)
PS: Lalu is eating JDU's secular votes so Its like JDU won't even score 5 while lalu will eat those JDU's seats. No gain, no loss for BJP.

Lalu campaigns solo to show Congress its place
The Congress is left to explain the absence of Lalu in its high-profile rallies and dismiss talks of a “discomfort” between the two allies.

It had always been an uncomfortable alliance of convenience for both parties. Now that the Rashtriya Janata Dal is riding a perceived resurgence in Bihar, party chief Lalu Prasad is not likely to be seen sharing the dais with big names from its “junior” partner in the state, the Congress.

With two-thirds of polling over in Bihar, the RJD says chances of Rahul or Sonia Gandhi sharing the stage with Lalu for the next phase of polls are as good as nil. Not all partymen are said to be not keen on this but Lalu, rather than listing achievements of the UPA-II government, has been raising the pitch of “saving the secular fabric of India from communal forces” at election rallies.

“Laluji is campaigning on his own. He is addressing at least four rallies a day. In such a schedule it has not been possible to go for joint campaigning with top leaders of the Congress. And frankly, now that we have reached the concluding phase of polling, there is no possibility,” said Manoj Jha, national spokesman of the RJD.

Sources said with Congress vice-president Rahul Gandhi making a public spectacle of tearing up a draft ordinance that could have saved Lalu’s political career by allowing convicted politicians to contest polls, the RJD cadres are not favourably inclined towards Rahul and Lalu sharing the dais.

The Congress is left to explain the absence of Lalu in its high-profile rallies and dismiss talks of a “discomfort” between the two allies.

“It’s a problem of schedules of Laluji and Rahulji and Soniaji not matching. That is why joint campaigning has not been, and will not be, possible. But that does not mean there is a problem with the alliance,” says Ashok Choudhary, Bihar Congress chief.

Lalu has campaigned for Congress candidates in Aurangabad, Sasaram and a couple of other places. Sonia shared the dais with RJD candidates earlier this month. The two have not, however, been seen together, giving the JD(U), the BJP and even the LJP the opportunity to call the Congress-RJD alliance “fragile”.

Despite Lalu’s conviction in the fodder scam and a host of party seniors, notably Ram Kripal Yadav, joining the BJP, the RJD is projecting itself as a credible antidote to the perceived “Modi wave”.

I would call it big amount of Confidence in the RJD behavior..!

Thanks to Paswan BJP is getting big number of dalit votes and will easily cross 20 mark in Bihar which I think is more than enough. Still I want Modi in last phase to try and break Yadav consolidation behind SP and RJD by praising them and invoking Hindutva and stating of Lord Krishna's connection with both Yadav clan of UP&Bihar and Dwarka city of Gujarat as he has done in past. BJP can reach 25 in Bihar and 60 in UP.

Paswan is no Mayawati.

Paswan is nothing in Bihar Politics because he can't even manage to win his own seat. {He lost in 2009 election}

Why ? Who are you to tell me whom to support and whom not to ?

Trying to instill some common sense .. No clue why you would want Bihar to remain a Jungle filled with murderers and Rapists..
If NDA wins in centre then Lalu can kiss his rear end good bye in Bihar . The people are tired of that worthless fool ...
 
.
Bjp target will be achieved Its Minimum target 22-24 seats No one can Stop Modi Judgement Now its too late .
 
.
people who are anti caste/religion based politics, I know it looks stupid. but its a matter of your own survival there. Its not a luxury. Your men dont get elected, you suffer 5 years of being ignored by others.
We are talking about village and small town politics. I am pretty sure whoever talks about 'vote for betterment of country' will prove himself to be first grade hypocrite once he lives 1 year in such situation.
 
.
Lalu is only gaining on Vacuum created by Nitish government . Next state elections should be enough to rout RJD
