Election Campaign

Summarize
Perspective

Pushpam Priya Choudhary travelled across the state and raised the issues of closed industries, unproductive agriculture, ruined heritage and unemployment with the party campaign of "Let’s Open Bihar" and "30 Years Lockdown". She pointed out the underdevelopment of the state in the post-globalisation phase after 1990, which is also synchronised with the Lalu Prasad Yadav-Nitish Kumar regime.[9][verification needed]

Bihar Assembly Elections

The party made its electoral debut in the 2020 Bihar Legislative Assembly election and contested all 243 seats.[10] As the party opposed the politics of caste and religion following its pluralistic ideology, it declared its candidate’s name while mentioning their profession (doctor, engineer, teacher etc) as their caste and their religion as ‘Bihari’. Many of the nominations of its candidates were rejected, which the party opposed vehemently. All party candidates who contested the elections lost, including party president Pushpam Priya Choudhary who contested from Bankipur and Bisfi constituencies.[11][12] Party members finally contested on 148 seats including those declared independent because of the delay in party registration. Total vote secured by the candidates on these seats was 209,417.
