India's 12th largest state of Bihar goes to poll in four phases on April 16th, 23rd, 30th and May 7th. Bihar has a total of 40 Lok Sabha constituencies, but some constituencies will now have an altogether different boundary or name for India election 2009 because of the new delimitation rules. Some of these are Valmiki Nagar, Paschim Champaran, Purvi Champaran and Supaul.

Bihar elections, which once used to be a stronghold of Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) led by Laloo Prasad Yadav, has now seen the emergence of a viable competition in the form of Nitish Kumar and NDA. As of now, the RJD has tied up with LJP, led by Ram Bilas Paswan, and have left their previous ally Congress in a lurch. It is noticiable that in the last elections, the RJD-Congress combine almost swept the elections by winning 23 seats. Hence, their fighting the Lok Sabha elections 2009 separately, is surely going to help the NDA. This clearly opens up the election, which will now be fought between three contenders, The BJP & Nitish's Janata Dal(U) combine, The Congress and the RJD-LJP Alliance.

The goins is not going to be very easy for Laloo Prasad Yadav this time, as his proven formula of concentrating on Yadav-Muslim combine votes, seems too little to help him out this term. The major vote factors, the EBC or extremely backward castes, have been said to move towards the Nitish camp and with the Nitish Govt offering them 18% reservations in the Panchayat elections, it'd be tough for Laloo to wean away the votes of EBC from Nitish's camp.
