The Bihar Gamble Ajit Pawar Took for NCP — A Move That Could Have Put the Party on Par with BJP and Congress

Patna:The political journey of the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) in Bihar has largely remained on the margins. In its more than 25-year-long existence, the party tasted real success in the state only once — in 2005. Thereafter, NCP failed to make any significant electoral impact in Bihar. Political analysts believe that had a key strategic gamble taken by NCP chief Ajit Pawar succeeded, the party might have emerged as a national force comparable to the BJP and Congress. Ajit Pawar, who took over the reins of the NCP after receiving recognition from the Election Commission in 2024, had envisioned transforming the party into a national player. Bihar was central to this plan. However, the strategy ultimately failed, marking a major setback in Pawar’s political ambitions. Early Promis...

How ‘Jungle Raj’ in Bihar Paved the Way for Nitish Kumar’s Rise to Power

Patna:The term ‘Jungle Raj’, which later became the cornerstone of Nitish Kumar’s political ascent, did not originate from political rhetoric or election speeches. Interestingly, the phrase was first used by a Patna High Court judge while commenting on the utter administrative collapse in the state. The remark was made not during the hearing of a murder or kidnapping case, but while reviewing the capital’s monsoon mismanagement, where rainwater flooded residential colonies and roads turned into muddy swamps. Over time, the phrase ‘Jungle Raj’ became synonymous with the 15-year rule of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), a period marked by unchecked crime, caste-based violence, kidnappings, and large-scale corruption. These developments eventually eroded public confidence in the RJD governme...
