For now, it seems that all the real issues of the Bihar elections have disappeared into thin air.
The entire discussion has now narrowed down to the caste of the candidates.
As soon as different parties release their candidate lists, another list immediately appears — showing how many tickets each caste has received.
Then, based on these figures, political equations are analyzed and TV debates begin.
One can only hope that after the process of ticket distribution and nominations is over, the election discussions will return to the real issues —
like education, migration, employment, electricity, water, roads, healthcare, and law & order —
because these are the fundamental and essential questions on which Bihar’s future depends.
But unfortunately, in every election the issues remain the same — only the focus of discussion changes.
In the mathematics of caste, religion, and alliances, the people’s problems once again get pushed to the margins.
Leaders make promises, paint dreams in their speeches,
but as soon as the elections are over, the same old conditions return —
no teachers in schools, no medicines in hospitals,
broken roads, and youth migrating in search of jobs.
This time, the people must decide
whether they will vote based on caste or for their own future.
Because if the issues are diverted once again,
then future generations will ask the same question —
“What was the meaning of our vote, after all?”
