&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the run-up to the 2020 Bihar Assembly election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been trying to portray itself as an equal partner in its alliance with the Janata Dal (United) (JD) (U) and a key player in the state&amp;rsquo;s electoral politics. From 11.6 per cent vote share in the 1990 Assembly election, BJP gradually consolidated its position in the state in the 1990s and 2000s and became a significant force in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s electoral politics by 2010. The 2010 election marked its biggest electoral victory in terms of number of seats, and it formed the alliance government in that year. While its ally JD (U) won 115 seats in 2010, BJP won 91 seats which was its highest ever tally in Bihar. Though the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) gave it a crushing defeat in 2015, the party was still able to garner 24.4 per cent vote share.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;So, what explains the growth of BJP in Bihar? This article analyses the party&amp;rsquo;s electoral performance in the Assembly elections from 1990 to 2015 and in the Lok Sabha elections from 1991 to 2019 in terms of seats won and votes polled. It argues that caste and community configurations and the alliance with JD (U) were crucial for the growth of BJP in Bihar.&lt;/p&gt;

From 11.6 per cent vote share in the 1990 Assembly election, BJP gradually consolidated its position in the state in the 1990s and 2000s and became a significant force in Bihar&rsquo;s electoral politics by 2010. The 2010 election marked its biggest electoral victory in terms of number of seats, and it formed the alliance government in that year. While its ally JD (U) won 115 seats in 2010, BJP won 91 seats which was its highest ever tally in Bihar. Though the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) gave it a crushing defeat in 2015, the party was still able to garner 24.4 per cent vote share.</p><p style="text-align:justify">So, what explains the growth of BJP in Bihar?

From 11.6 per cent vote share in the 1990 Assembly election, BJP gradually consolidated its position in the state in the 1990s and 2000s and became a significant force in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s electoral politics by 2010. The 2010 election marked its biggest electoral victory in terms of number of seats, and it formed the alliance government in that year. While its ally JD (U) won 115 seats in 2010, BJP won 91 seats which was its highest ever tally in Bihar. Though the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) gave it a crushing defeat in 2015, the party was still able to garner 24.4 per cent vote share.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;So, what explains the growth of BJP in Bihar? This article analyses the party&amp;rsquo;s electoral performance in the Assembly elections from 1990 to 2015 and in the Lok Sabha elections from 1991 to 2019 in terms of seats won and votes polled. It argues that caste and community configurations and the alliance with JD (U) were crucial for the growth of BJP in Bihar.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Please &lt;a href=&quot;https://vikalp.ind.in/2020/10/caste-community-configurations-and-alliances-tracking-bjps-electoral-footprints-in-bihar/?fbclid=IwAR1FmGmwo3HEG4LbzJITXavmJx2kBDdu6Q5JrbT2P9GAAf_55Fpc1L188bA&quot; title=&quot;https://vikalp.ind.in/2020/10/caste-community-configurations-and-alliances-tracking-bjps-electoral-footprints-in-bihar/?fbclid=IwAR1FmGmwo3HEG4LbzJITXavmJx2kBDdu6Q5JrbT2P9GAAf_55Fpc1L188bA&quot;&gt;click here&lt;/a&gt; to read more.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;In the run-up to the 2020 Bihar Assembly election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been trying to portray itself as an equal partner in its alliance with the Janata Dal (United) (JD) (U) and a key player in the state&amp;rsquo;s electoral politics. From 11.6 per cent vote share in the 1990 Assembly election, BJP gradually consolidated its position in the state in the 1990s and 2000s and became a significant force in Bihar&amp;rsquo;s electoral politics by 2010. The 2010 election marked its biggest electoral victory in terms of number of seats, and it formed the alliance government in that year. While its ally JD (U) won 115 seats in 2010, BJP won 91 seats which was its highest ever tally in Bihar. Though the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) gave it a crushing defeat in 2015, the party was still able to garner 24.4 per cent vote share.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;So, what explains the growth of BJP in Bihar? This article analyses the party&amp;rsquo;s electoral performance in the Assembly elections from 1990 to 2015 and in the Lok Sabha elections from 1991 to 2019 in terms of seats won and votes polled. It argues that caste and community configurations and the alliance with JD (U) were crucial for the growth of BJP in Bihar.&lt;/p&gt;

-Vikalp.ind.in In the run-up to the 2020 Bihar Assembly election, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has been trying to portray itself as an equal partner in its alliance with the Janata Dal (United) (JD) (U) and a key player in the state’s electoral politics. From 11.6 per cent vote share in the 1990 Assembly election, BJP gradually consolidated its position in the state in the 1990s and 2000s and became a significant force in Bihar’s electoral politics by 2010. The 2010 election marked its biggest electoral victory in terms of number of seats, and it formed the alliance government in that year. While its ally JD (U) won 115 seats in 2010, BJP won 91 seats which was its highest ever tally in Bihar. Though the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) gave it a crushing defeat in 2015, the party was still able to garner 24.4 per cent vote share. So, what explains the growth of BJP in Bihar? This article analyses the party’s electoral performance in the Assembly elections from 1990 to 2015 and in the Lok Sabha elections from 1991 to 2019 in terms of seats won and votes polled.
