Bihar: Direct fight between BJP & RJD, but two independents may play spoilsport in Buxar
BJP nominee for Buxar Mithilesh Tiwari is in a meeting with a restive group of disenchanted youth. There are growing reports of shifting loyalties of the young voters, particularly Brahmins. Speculation is rife that the youth in this constituency were showing an inclination to join the camp of independent candidate and ex-IPS officer Anand Mishra.
One by one, they stood and spoke directly with Tiwari.
Most are unhappy with current MP Ashiwini Choubey, who has been denied a BJP ticket this time. «My father was very ill, and I wanted to admit him to AIIMS, New Delhi. Despite calls to his office, he (Choubey) was unavailable.
I would not have been able to get my father treated if I didn't have money,» a young voter told Tiwari. Finally, after hearing out everyone, Tiwari motivates them to work for him in this election, promising to maintain direct connect with his voters. And then Tiwari gave them a new slogan: «Chhoro sare kalesh ko, Sansad banao Mithilesh ko (end all conflicts and send Mithilesh to parliament)».
Tiwari looked confident at PM Narendra Modi's rally at Ahirauli ground on Saturday. He was happy with the report that all such youths from different villages were present at the rally.
Tiwari, who has been in BJP for more than three decades, has had a good time in Shahabad region as BJP's in-charge of party affairs. Known as a field operative in his party, he is aware about different areas of Buxar Lok Sabha seat and lost no time to get all the political equations in his favour.
