For Bihar Chief Nitish Kumar
the fight has only got tougher and his party may end up with 15-19 seats in the
next Lok Sabha, which will lower than its current tally of 20 MPs. Even though
the JD(U) has managed to increase it vote
share to 25 per cent from 24 in the
last Lok Sabha election, BJP's emergence as a strong challenger seems to have
hit the JD(U) in some pockets of the state.
The satisfaction level with
his government has plunged from an unprecedented high of 90 per cent to 69
while the dissatisfaction is up from 9 per cent to 25.
But the BJP too is not
sitting very pretty although the party's vote share has seen a huge jump to 22
per cent from 14. While the eight per cent increase in vote share should have
ensured more seats to the BJP, what has stopped its march is an equally
impressive show by the RJD which has seen its share rising to 24 per cent from
19 in 2009 Lok Sabha elections.
Both the BJP and RJD are
projected to win 8-12 seats each by the CSDS-CNN-IBN survey with the Congress,
which has hinted that it is eyeing Nitish Kumar's support, a distant fourth
with 0-4 seats, Ram Vilas Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party and others likely to bag
0-2 seats.
