Yadav-dominated Kosi belt is now at a crossroads with the BJP emerging a possible alternative after the NDA split. Also, Madhepura MP Pappu Yadav’s exit from the RJD has upset the calculations of the Congress-RJD-JD(U) alliance in this belt as well as the adjacent Muslim-dominated Seemanchal.
These two regions, comprising 37 assembly seats, are where Pappu Yadav is hoping to score with his new party. The region is traditionally a weak spot for the NDA. In the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP could not win any of the seven seats in Kosi and Seemanchal. Of the 13 assembly seats in the Kosi belt, the NDA holds only Saharsa.

Ask anyone about Pappu Yadav and the answer veers around him proving a “vote katwa” between the NDA and Congress-RJD-JD(U) alliance. Since Pappu met PM Narendra Modi and Home Minister Rajnath Singh, there has been speculation about a possible tie-up or a friendly fight in Seemanchal and Kosi. more
