I just spent the whole Sunday reading about the Bihar elections. I do not live in Bihar. I care because if a better model works in one state, it travels. I also watched Samdish’s interview with Prashant Kishor. It left me with one filter. Can this election move the talk from identity to delivery.
PK’s pitch interests me because he keeps pointing to schools, jobs, health, and basic services. It reminds me of early Delhi when receipts mattered more than labels. I am not asking for miracles. I want classrooms that run, clinics that open on time, roads that survive rain, and a few more jobs to stop inter state migration that happens at scale.
Transfers help when life is tight. I am not against them. My question is what changes after the transfer.
Incumbency is real. Nitish Kumar brings steadiness people recognise, but the alliance flips created fatigue. Lalu Prasad Yadav’s legacy still divides opinion. Tejashwi Yadav brings energy and talks jobs, but he needs to widen beyond identity and anchor it in visible outcomes.
The brakes on PK are clear. First past the post is hard on new parties. Bihar has 243 seats and Jan Suraaj plans to contest all 243. Bold on stage, risky on the ground. When you spread a new organisation across the map, you end up thin everywhere. Better to hyper focus where the padyatra is deepest, stack proof, win clean, and scale next year.
This is where I am. I am not predicting a wave. I just want basic things to work. If PK can keep the talk on delivery and show proof in a few places, good. If not, he will be another Kejriwal, forgotten and a thing of the past.
Kveer, signing out.
