Nitish Kumar to Repeat Bihar Formula in Uttar Pradesh
It is virtually near repeat of NDA's winning formula in Bihar for UP where Chief Minister Nitish Kumar emerges as a key player to work out the final strategy to brighten the saffron prospects in the crucial last three phases of UP poll in eastern part beginning after April 24.
As the deputy Chief Minister and senior BJP leader Sushil Modi takes command to organise the campaign for the neighbouring constituencies of Varanasi and Gorakhpur regions of the eastern UP adjacent to Bihar, Nitish Kumar's move to broadbase the NDA's strength in UP by roping in Apna Dal is expected to pay rich dividends to it. The perception that the Lalu-Rabri's regime in Bihar was beneficial only to a particular caste was said to have helped Nitish-led NDA in Bihar to combine non-Yadav most backward classes (MBCs) and upper castes to ground the otherwise invincible Lalu in November,2005 polls. Sources in the BJP admitted that the same Bihar formula of bringing non-Yadav OBCs and MBCs towards the saffron outfit, besides its upper caste votes, was being repeated in UP too where Nitish played a key role. In the backdrop of these developments, Nitish will camp in Eastern UP, along with Sushil Modi, on April 25 and 26 to campaign for Apna Dal and BJP candidates. Besides, around 30 legislators of the BJP and the JD(U) have been asked to campaign in different segments of eastern UP in the next fortnight to tilt the balance in favour of NDA. Nitish reportedly has been specifically approached by BJP`s top brass to lead the campaign with the slogan of "new UP" on the lines of "new Bihar". It was Nitish who not only cemented the old ties between Apna Dal and the BJP in UP, but also made the JD(U)-BJP united fight happen in the crucial polls there.

A senior BJP leader from Bihar argued that while the decision to project Kalyan Singh, again a backward, as Chief ministerial candidate was only expected to restore the Lodh Rajput vote-bank of the saffron camp in central UP and the Bundelkhand region, Nitish and Apna Dal Chief Sonelal Patel, both backwards, could be crucial to win over non-Yadav OBCs and MBCs for the party in eastern UP.
In the 2002 assembly polls in UP Kalyan Singh, having parted ways with the BJP, had floated his Rashtriya Kranti Party to forge an electoral alliance with the Samajwadi Party. His decision to switch camps reportedly inflicted a severe damage on the BJP's prospects, as the Lodhs,who comprise 2.7 percent of the total voter-base, deserted the NDA. The same happened in Eastern UP where Apna Dal chief Sonelal Patel, a party representing Kurmis, had decided to fight the polls on his own damaging the BJP. In the caste-dominated landscape of UP, OBCs comprise a good 30 per cent of the total electorate. While Yadavs reportedly constitute 8 per cent,4 per cent Kurmis are the next dominant group followed by Lodhas, Nisha and other non-Yadav groups. Incidentally, against the application of Bihar formula of the NDA in UP, Mulayam depends on Muslim-Yadav (MY) combination of his arch rival Lalu to defend his position. RJD Chief Lalu Prasad already campaigned in Bihar for the Congress. However, the target of Lalu Prasad was seemingly more to pay back another Yadav satrap Mulayam Singh in the same coin the way the latter did it in Bihar assembly polls in November. "Yeh to gaya" (he is a gone case) was reportedly the comment of Lalu against Mulayam in his close quarter here. Source- TRIBUNE, Dated, April-23,2007
