Bihar By-Elections: Family Politics Prevails, BJP and RJD Alongside Manjhi's Party Place Trust in Kinship

Politics in Bihar has taken a turn where no party seems to uphold its principles, particularly regarding family ties. While parties like the BJP criticize the Congress and RJD for nepotism, the latter two counter with similar accusations against the BJP. The recent by-elections for four seats—Tarari, Ramgarh, Belaganj, and Imamganj—have revealed the hypocrisy of all parties involved. Each party has announced candidates closely related to existing political families, underscoring the dominance of family politics in Bihar. This pattern of nominations has ignited renewed controversy over nepotism in the state's political landscape, highlighting the pervasive influence of familial connections in electoral politics.
