Bihar is gearing up for assembly elections, with polling expected to be held after the festive season, including Chhath Puja and Diwali. Election authorities are likely to announce the exact dates following Dussehra, ensuring adequate time for campaigning and preparation.
Political parties have already begun strategizing for the elections, with leaders focusing on outreach programs and public rallies scheduled around the festive calendar. The post-festival timeline is seen as a way to maximize voter engagement, as large sections of the population participate in Chhath Puja and Diwali celebrations.
The upcoming elections are being closely watched, given Bihar’s political significance in the national landscape. Observers note that parties will intensify campaigns in both urban and rural constituencies, focusing on development issues, governance, and welfare schemes that resonate with voters.
Election officials have emphasized preparedness, ensuring that security, polling infrastructure, and voter facilitation measures are in place well ahead of the polls. With the festive season acting as a natural pause, parties are expected to intensify their election machinery once Dussehra concludes.
Analysts predict that voter sentiment during and immediately after the festivals could play a key role in shaping electoral outcomes, making the post-Dussehra period crucial for political campaigns across the state.
