SBSP Distances Itself from NDA
Amidst the BSP's announcements, the Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (Sujeldev Bharatiya Samaj Party – SSBP/सुभासपा) has also taken a political turn. SBSP President Om Prakash Rajbhar decided to field his own candidates in the Bihar Assembly Elections, distancing his party from the BJP and NDA. Rajbhar's party has declared candidates for 47 assembly seats in the first phase. The reason for SBSP's decision is clear — the BJP did not allocate a single seat to the SBSP under the alliance for the Bihar elections, while local allies were given a share.
Om Prakash Rajbhar stated, "We made every effort for the alliance, but no one considered our demands. Ultimately, we had to decide to contest the elections independently." Rajbhar had been preparing for the Bihar elections for the past two years, continuously strengthening his vote bank through rallies and public meetings. This move makes it clear that the SBSP will now independently test its strength in the elections, distancing itself from the NDA.
The influence of SBSP is primarily observed among the Nishad, Mallah, and boatmen communities in Bihar. These communities play a decisive role in many assembly constituencies. By fielding candidates in 47 seats, the party has made it clear that they aim to win elections based on public support.
