The best-administered state at a time until it hoped into the most unstable and volatile

state, Bihar has thrown into the darkness of corrupt and bloodsuckers lord’s universe,
where politics injects the infection of corruption in the very nascent stage in politicians to
make them a lord. Bihar had a single party rule until 1990 except in 1977 when Janta dal
had dethroned congress and karpoori Thakur became chief minister of Bihar but it did not
last for a long. After the death of Lalit Narayan Mishra in a bomb attack in 1975, who was
the then railway minister and had a towering political stature in Bihar, Congress lost its
traction on the ground and Congress ruled in the state through puppet chief ministers until
1990. the outset of the 90s came with a big political change in Bihar, Janta Dal(United)
trounced the Congress and Lalu Yadav became chief minister. The year 1990 reversed the
dice of politics and political representation. Now the backward castes were in majority in
the assembly.Being from low caste and flag bearer of Yadav community's well-being, he
had the support of lower caste faction of the society for 15 years but he did nothing but sow
the seeds of castism and distrust. He was the man who widened the chasm between lower
and upper cast in Bihar for his own political and economic gain.

Metamorphosis into goons land

when Lalu came into power and the time when he ran the government through the proxy,
there was a condition of living not governed by law, in which the powerful prey on the
weak, aware that they will not be held accountable for their transgressions. Lalu provided,
in return, immunity to the goons who have harvested votes for him, particularly in the
latter part of his long tenure.
A new industry engendered, kidnapping for ransom did seem to have become no
investment business. It was flourishing and deteriorating the law and order. businessman
and doctors with flourishing career targeted especially. death was the penalty, in case of
denial to give ransom or if the help of authority had been sought. There was a time in Bihar,
when the people were not able to differentiate between the goons and politicians, although,
the condition has not changed yet it is way better than former, every politician was tainted
and had the additional support of goons for eliminating and controlling the adverse
situation.

development Mantar

Challenging the Yadav dominance in backward class politics, Nitish Kumar, a Kurmi, broke
away from the erstwhile Janata Dal (JD) in 1994, with his OBC Kurmi and Koeri caste
supporters. with George Fernandes he formed the Samata Dal, which forged an alliance
with the BJP for the 1996 general elections. The JD(U) was born from the merger of the
Sharad Yadav faction, Lok Janshakti Party and SD within the NDA on October 30, 2003. The
NDA thus pieced together was an ingenious combination of various castes from top to
bottom. Nitish came with development Mantra, BJP-JDU led coalition won 2005 Bihar
assembly elections and utilised the anger of youth and upper castes who were forgotten in
Laluraj era, and he chief minister. Nitish government did come with successful endeavours
and improved the problem-ridden Bihar, although, some of them failed grossly, even
created bigger problems in the development process of Bihar.
Though the appointment of 100,000 teachers in Bihar appears a big step towards
improving the education system, it annihilated existing skeleton of system rather than
putting a skin on the existing skeleton. Topper scam and interviews of illiterate teachers
proves that the condition in Bihar is severe and can be festered, so,there is a dire need to
overhaul the existing education system of Bihar. the socio-political structure of Bihar is of
many layers and often creates hurdles in the development process. Votes are divided on
the caste basis in bihar, people from remote villages and even from the cities blindly vote
for thier own caste politician, which helps politician in manipulating people and creating
illusion of self-dignity.
