The election this time is being seen as a straight contest between INDIA bloc candidate Shrawan Kushwaha and NDA candidate Vivek Thakur. Rashtriya Janata Dal's Shrawan Kushwaha has pitched the issue in his poll campaign, asserting "jo yahan ka beta hoga, wahi yahan ka neta hoga (only a local candidate will be the leader of this place). BJP's Vivek Thakur, who is considered an outsider in the region, has played down the issue, calling it "insignificant". Intrestingly, both Shrawan Kushwaha and Vivek Thakur are contesting the election for the first time.
Since the time of Jan Sangh, BJP has been a strong influence in Nawada. Consequently, BJP's dominance is one of the key voting factors. Since the turn of the century, BJP and NDA have been continuously winning the seat, losing only once in 2004. Another major factor is Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s charisma has played a huge part in Nawada. Modi’s face is the ultimate voting factor in the constituency. Bhumihar, Yadav, Kushwaha, Vaishya, and the Dalit, EBC and OBC dominate the caste-based demographics of the Nawada constituency. Bhumihars are almost 22-25 per cent of the vote bank in Nawada and are another major factor.
Lok Sabha polls were held in the country from 19 April to 1 June in seven phases. 543 members of the Lok Sabha will be elected. The results will be declared today.
Nawada is an economically backward constituency. Various challenges exist in the constituency including pending construction of the reservoir in the upper region of the Sakri river, employment and emigration, lack of civic infrastructure, lack of educational institutes, welfare schemes, Ram Mandir, and CAA. Interestingly, Bhumihars, Yadavs, Kushwahas and even the lower castes are in support of the CAA.
