2015 Bihar political crisis
The 2015 Bihar political crisis refers to a significant political upheaval in the Indian state of Bihar, occurring in the context of the assembly elections held in October–November 2015. The crisis arose when the ruling Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)) formed a Grand Alliance with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Indian National Congress to counter the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), which sought to consolidate its influence in the state. The election campaign was marked by intense political rivalry, with issues such as caste dynamics, social justice, and development taking center stage. The crisis culminated in a decisive victory for the Grand Alliance, leading to the formation of a government under JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar, while intensifying the BJP's challenges in maintaining its foothold in the region.
