India TV-CNX Opinion Poll: It is always said in Indian politics that the opinion of people living in the Hindi-speaking region reflects the electorate mood of the nation. In this context, Bihar and Jharkhand are important states where Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is not in power. Coincidently, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has been instrumental in forming newly opposition's coalition - INDIA. So, BJP and INDIA will leave no stone unturned to grab maximum seats in Bihar and Jharkhand as well. Unlike 2019, BJP and Nitish's JD-U are not allies in the Lok Sabha elections in 2024. In the changed political scenario in Bihar, it would be interesting to see how the 'Modi-factor' without Nitish will play in the Lok Sabha elections.
