Bihar goes to the first phase of its 2025 assembly poll on Thursday (Nov 6). The second phase is scheduled for November 11, and the result will be announced on November 14. The major political alliances are NDA (JD(U) + BJP + Others) and Mahagathbandhan/INDIA Alliance (RJD + Congress + Others).&nbsp;With caste, development, and education, and basic facilities being at the core - two factors will heavily decide who comes to power next in India's one of the most politically important states: Unemployment and women voters. Unemployment has long been in the manifestos of every political party running to get power in Bihar. Every year, a great chunk of Bihar residents migrate and settle in bigger cities or states to get better employment opportunities. Hence, creating employment sources within the state has become a need of the hour. Tejashwi Yadav's RJD has made quite a bold promise in this area. The son of former Bihar CM Lalu Yadav has promised he would provide 10 lakh government jobs to Biharis. As bold as it sounds, the promise is nearly impossible to fulfil.&nbsp;But promises are made, and it would be interesting to see if Bihar's youth get fascinated by the idea or dodge the chance to choose Tejashwi Yadav as their CM.&nbsp;Another essential factor is the section of women voters. This area has been a stronghold of the current Bihar CM Nitish Kumar. Women are often considered "silent voters", as per the Election Commission of India. Ultimately, what makes the difference in the results is the candidate women vote for the most. And Kumar has been quite popular among women voters.&nbsp;This time also, the JD(U) chief's manifesto, proposed by the NDA, primarily focuses on women's welfare schemes.&nbsp;Last time, since the population of women is much higher than men in Bihar, Nitish appeased women voters by imposing a ban on liquor. The ban made the daily life of women, who used to go through miserable conditions due to addicted husbands, much easier.&nbsp;List of poll promises by the three major parties Nitish Kumar: Welfare expansion&nbsp;Nitish Kumar, the veteran leader, is heavily banking on his welfare politics this time, which he has tried and tested multiple times before as well. Kumar has assured that he would improve the protection for marginalised communities, women, and jobless youth.&nbsp;In July this year, Kumar increased the pensions of widows, the elderly, and the disabled to ₹1,100 a month. Kumar has promised to give women entrepreneurs an initial amount of ₹10,000 and later ₹2 lakh in the second phase. This will be done under Mukhayamantri Mahila Rozgar Yojna.&nbsp;Tejashwi Yadava: Employment RJD's Tejashwi Yadav has promised employment to the voters. He has announced that his government would enact a "Special Employmenet Act" just in 20 days after taking office. Under this, one government job will be given to each family in Bihar within 20 months.&nbsp;Prashant Kishor: No alcohol ban&nbsp;Prashant Kishor made a huge poll promise to revoke the alcohol ban in the dry state. Kishor's party announced that if it comes to power, it will lift the ban, which, Kishor claimed, could unlock substantial financial resources for the state. The party claimed that due to the liquor ban in Bihar, the state lost nearly ₹28,000 crore. Kishor's party said the money could be used to secure loans worth ₹5–6 lakh crore from the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund (IMF).&nbsp;Making the bold promise, Kishor said he will revoke the liquor ban within an hour if his party forms the next government in Bihar.&nbsp;Hence, &nbsp;as political strategists say, women’s votes will likely be more issue-driven than loyalty-driven.

Bihar assembly election 2025: Will unemployment and women be silent deciders?

Ahead of the assembly elections in the Indian state of Bihar, the Mahagathbandhan released its manifesto with the title - &nbsp;'Tejaswhi Pran' (Tejashwi's Vow). The manifesto comprises multiple bold poll promises, including one government job per family, a monthly allowance of ₹2,500 for women, and 200 units of free electricity for every household.The document, unveiled as the INDIA Alliance’s Sankalp Patra 2025, carries the slogan: “Sampoorna Bihar ka, Sampoorna Parivartan – Tejashwi Pratigya, Tejashwi Pran.” The alliance’s manifesto outlined a wide-ranging agenda focusing on employment, welfare, and governance reforms.The manifesto promises employment. Tejashwi has pledged to enact a law within 20 days of forming the government to ensure one government job per family.Among the welfare measures, the alliance has promised to provide 200 units of free electricity to every household and gas cylinders for ₹500 to poor families.The manifesto also stated that the Mahagathbandhan would guarantee a minimum support price (MSP) for all crops.This came after &nbsp;Tejashwi Yadav announced on Tuesday (Oct 28) that if the Mahagathbandhan comes to power, he will lift the prohibition ban on 'toddy' (tari) in the dry state. During a rally in Saran's Parsa, the RJD leader said, &nbsp;"The Bihar Prohibition and Excise Act has completely failed in Bihar... There is a home delivery system of liquor in the state, and people are easily availing it.""Saran is witnessing murder, dacoity, abduction and loot every day. But, Chief Minister Nitish Kumar is least bothered about it… he never comes to console the victims. This is sheer insensitivity on the part of the government," he claimed at the rally in Marhaura.Yadav's poll promise resembled a lot with Jan Suraj Party chief Prashant Kishore, who has promised to lift the liquor ban in the state if he comes to power. Yadav said this after sparking a controversy last days ago by saying that if he comes to power, the Waqf (Amendment) Act would be “thrown into the dustbin.”“Nitish Kumar has always supported such forces, and it is because of him that the RSS and its affiliates are spreading communal hatred in the state as well as in the country. The BJP should be called 'Bharat Jalao Party'. If the INDIA bloc comes to power in the state, we will throw the Waqf Act into the dustbin,” Yadav said, PTI quoted.BJP national spokesperson Syed Shahnawaz Hussain condemned the statements, saying, “RJD people are from the era of jungle raj. They do not know that the law (Waqf Amendment Act) passed by the central parliament has also been approved by the Supreme Court... Such statements are being made to mislead the public... The Waqf Amendment Act has been passed... RJD is completely disappointed and frustrated,” reported news agency ANI.
