New Delhi: A few days before the Election Commission’s expected announcement of the Bihar Assembly election schedule, parleys continue to forge a common Opposition front to take on the ruling National Democratic Alliance (NDA), currently led by Janata Dal (United) chief Nitish Kumar in the state.

The main challenger, like the 2020 polls, is expected to be the Mahagathbandhan or Grand Alliance, comprising mainly Lalu Prasad’s Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the Left parties, and the Congress.

Early surveys and on-ground reports indicate poll consultant-turned-politician Prashant Kishor’s recently-launched Jan Suraaj Party (JSP), emerging as a possible decider in case of a close finish like 2020, with a follower base developing in south Bihar.

Kishor is all set to go ahead on his own.
