has been brewing since June 2013. That's when Nitish took

the JD(U) out of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in a

fit of pique after Modi was appointed chairman of the BJP's

election campaign committee.

phase Bihar election is half-way through, we will know if that

walkout was the best - or worst - decision in Nitish's political

career.

BJP must have a clear strategy to expose the blatant Muslim vote-bank

politics of the opposition. A smart strategy for the saffron party would

be to convert this election into a development v/s return to jungle raj election at the macro level while creating a Hindu v/s Muslim

fight at the micro level by subtly campaigning for reverse polarization

as nearly 96% Muslims are likely to vote for the Nitish Kumar led

alliance. If 1.2 Cr Muslim votes can polarize on one side, then BJP has

the opportunity to tap 5 Cr plus Hindu votes on the other side of the

secular spectrum. For instance, one important aspect of this strategy

should come from the larger Sangh Parivaar by interacting with the

villagers about BJP’s commitment for total beef-ban which has

important Hindu connotations in the heartland
