The RJD is the BJP’s enemy number one in the majority of the seats that the saffron party considers safe. Out of 91 seats the BJP won in the 2010 Assembly elections, 29 are constituencies that the party has retained in all the last three state polls. In addition, there are 13 other seats that the BJP has won in last two elections. Although the BJP is likely to field candidates in 150-160 seats out of the total 243 in the state polls, it looks at these 42 (29+13) seats as relatively safer than other seats it may contest.
The results of the last three elections – held in February 2005, October 2005 and 2010 – show that the RJD has considerable presence in the majority of even these 42 seats. In many of them, the saffron party’s victory margins have not been very high. more
