Before BJP distributed tickets in Bihar, there was a strong discussion that the party might change its candidate in Champaran region (East and West Champaran). It was believed that the biggest reason for this was against the candidates, but BJP surprised all its candidates by repeating it. Now the party is facing losses on the ground in West Champaran.
This time in West Champaran, there is huge resentment among the people against Sanjay Jaiswal. Castes like Brahmin, Bhumihar and Rajput, considered core BJP voters, are openly opposing Sanjay Jaiswal here.
On the other hand, the Congress has made former Bettiah MLA Madan Mohan Tiwari its candidate. Here he seems to be getting the direct benefit of the grudge against Sanjay Jaiswal.
After visiting different parts of West Champaran, I realized two things. Firstly- people want to change the sitting MP but want the Modi government at the centre. Congress candidate Madan Mohan Tiwari is the direct beneficiary of Sanjay Jaiswal’s displeasure.
This is why West Champaran is the only seat in Bihar where the Congress seems to have an upper hand over the BJP. Secondly- If BJP’s core voters, especially the Brahmins, do not agree before voting here, then Sanjay Jaiswal may miss out on winning here.
First of all, know the three reasons for displeasure from Sanjay Jaiswal.
- Opposition to the position due to victory three times in the elections Since Batia became a West Champaran Lok Sabha constituency after delimitation in 2008, Sanjay Jaiswal has been winning elections consecutively in the three elections held so far (2009-1019). Before that, except for one term in 2004, when West Champaran was Batia, Sanjay Jaiswal’s father, Madan Mohan Jaiswal, had won the three Lok Sabha elections of 1996, 1998 and 1999. This is the biggest challenge before Sanjay Jaiswal.
- No contact with people on the ground Akhilesh Chaudhary, a farmer by profession in the upper-caste-dominated Raxaul community village, says Sanjay Jaiswal never comes to the area. We voted for him only in the name of Modi ji. Otherwise they would not get votes.
- Arbitrariness in the distribution of tickets when he is the president of the country A major cause of resentment against Sanjay Jaiswal in West Champaran is his arbitrariness. The upper castes say that when he was the state president of the party he ignored the public demand and got tickets for the people he chose.
Youths are angry over non-operation of Chanpatia sugar mill
Pawan Kumar Mishra lives in Ludhiana and works in a private company. They say that this time there should be a change in West Champlain. What is the reason? On this, he mentions the Prime Minister’s speech of 10 years and says, Modi said that when we come here we will drink tea only with the sugar of Chanpattia Sugar Mill, but even after 10 years, this promise of his has not been fulfilled. . The sugar mill machinery is still rotting.
Village slogan – no hate for Modi, no hate for Jaiswal
In the rural areas of West Champaran you find people who say they don’t have any animosity against Prime Minister Narendra Modi, they are just angry with Sanjay Jaiswal.
At the same time, Vinay Kumar Chovi says there is an 80 percent chance that Sanjay Jaiswal will lose. Considering the circumstances, it seems that this time 60 percent of the Brahmins will be defeated. There was no development here. Our sugar mill should be operational but no one raised a voice.
Connectivity is a big problem in the city.
Gaurav Mishra, a resident of Batia, has been involved in business for the past 5 years. It is said that Batia is quite backward in terms of trade. Even today, local trains do not run in her homes. The city crawls with traffic jams. There was no development in Batia. It becomes difficult to walk properly in this city during the rainy season.
Muslims are disappointed with Nitish Kumar
This time in West Champaran, MY (Muslims and Yadavs) are seen standing strong with the Grand Alliance. The greatest resentment of Muslims comes from frequent switching of sides.
At the same time, Abbas, who is a driver, says that he left his studies because of poverty. Earlier there was trust in Nitish Kumar, but he moved here and there so many times that he was not trusted. Tejashwi Yadav is emerging as a good leader. When Nitish himself changes, the public will not change. Supported Nitish Kumar earlier but will not now.
Naveen Yadav of Hanaftia says that he is Tejashoi’s brother, so he will vote only for him. Even if you vote for BJP, no one will believe it.
Voted for BJP earlier, won’t vote now. Inflation increased greatly during his reign. This time Congress will win so we will vote for Madan Mohan Tiwari.
Now you will understand why the Brahmins are dominant in West Champaran
If we talk about class wise voters in West Champaran, the maximum number is Muslims here. Their number here is more than three lakh. Whereas about 2 lakh voters are from Yadav caste. If these two are added, then RJD’s MY equation graph is around 5 lakh.
Talking about the upper caste voters, according to a report by an election agency, in West Champaran the number of Rajput voters is 89 thousand, Bhumihar voters are 69 thousand and the maximum number of Brahmin voters is 1 lakh 18 thousand.
If these three are added, their number is around three and a quarter lakh. If we talk about Kurmi-Kuri voters, their number here is around 2 lakh. Whereas the artisans are around 1.27 lakh.
