Notwithstanding its victory, which was a narrow one, the BJP is aware that it now facing a doughty challenger in Tejashwi, who may well become the oppositions new mascot. This possibility is all the greater because Rahul Gandhi has failed to make an impact in Bihar. Not only has his party proved to be a liability for the mahagathbandhan, his own rallies proved to be far less effective than those of Tejashwi
'We were kept out of the campaign and the reports we are getting from our Bihar leaders is that a whole bunch of incompetent personnel were sent from New Delhi to manage affairs,' a section of the dissenters maintained.
If Tejashwi will be elected to sit on the throne, then he will be the youngest politician to become a Chief Minister of any state.
The first phase of the polls is scheduled on October 28 while the second and third phases will take place on November 3 and November 7 respectively.
