Arvind Kejriwal’s Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has announced to contest all the 243 seats in the 2025 assembly elections in Bihar. Along with this, the party has also announced that it is not going to alliance with any other party. But the question arises that on what basis the Aam Aadmi Party expects the people of Bihar that they will vote for it. Obviously, Arvind Kejriwal is not going to take such a big step without any hope. Money is spent in contesting elections, along with the party’s credibility goes on not getting votes. Therefore, a political party like Aam Aadmi Party would never want to enter the election field unnecessarily. Therefore, it is also not right to understand that Arvind Kejriwal is only entering the field to make his presence felt.
1-You will teach a lesson to colleagues by becoming a votecutter in Bihar
In the 2025 assembly elections in Bihar, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) can emerge as a votecutwa and can work to teach a lesson to its fellow parties of India faction. She can prove her importance once again by challenging RJD, Congress, Left parties. If the politics of coalition in the future is in the country, then it is also very important for the Aam Aadmi Party to get enough importance in it.
AAP contesting elections alone can divide the votes of the Grand Alliance, because both are the same voter base. For example, all the parties of the coalition are targeting the voters who want young, urban, and change.
In the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Grand Alliance got 42% votes, while NDA got 52%. If AAP, especially in urban areas like Patna, Darbhanga, and Muzaffarpur, also cut 2-4 percent of the votes of the Grand Alliance, it can provide indirect benefit to the NDA in many seats, because the difference of votes in the assembly seats is less.
2-Aam Aadmi Party can be successful in building land even after losing
AAP’s organization in Bihar is still in the initial stage. By contesting elections on all seats, he will get a chance to activate the workers up to the booth level and create a ground network. For parties like BJP, JD U and RJD in Bihar, this ‘Kejriwal Public Relations Yatra’ and activist conferences have prepared some basis. Even if the party loses badly, then at least it will get a chance to understand the politics of Bihar, which will be useful in the 2029 Lok Sabha elections. Especially in urban areas like Patna and Darbhanga.
The Aam Aadmi Party has hired many IT engineers to campaign. On this, AAP can brand the party by promoting its achievements of Delhi and Punjab, such as free electricity, mohalla clinics, and education reforms.
It can also be a long -term fund to woo many people of Bihar, who are fed up with the caste politics of RJD, JD (U), and BJP.
3-You can tell Jansuraj his status in Bihar
Both Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) and Jan Suraj Party (JSP) are emerging as alternative political forces in the 2025 assembly elections in Bihar. AAP has announced to contest all the 243 seats alone. It is obvious that this time in Bihar, the competition of both these political options will be worth seeing. AAP has a Siddha regime model and so-called anti-corruption image in Delhi and Punjab, while Jansuraj has the lead of intensive public relations and local Prashant Kishore for the last two years in Bihar. It is obvious that political critics will be eyeing the competition of both parties. There will also be curiosity in the general public who gets more importance in both parties.
Power cuts (8-10 hours per day) and weak health education services for urban and young voters make AAP’s promises relevant. AAP can challenge the people Suraj by taking advantage of its experience.
On the strength of Bihari migrants living in urban areas of Bihar and Delhi, you hope that she can give a new political option in Bihar, while Jan Suraj has a 3500 km march and trust of 1 crore founding members. Analysts believe that fighting all the AAP seats will harm the Grand Alliance, and it can also reduce the influence of Jan Suraj.
4-National Party is truly status
Fighting elections in Bihar is not directly mandatory to maintain the status of AAP’s national party, but the party will be useful to further strengthen the national status. The conditions of maintaining the status of a national party are mainly based on vote share and seats in the Lok Sabha and Assembly elections. Strong performance in Bihar (6% vote share and at least 2 assembly seats) can give AAP the status of state party in Bihar, which will help strengthen the position of the national party.
Along with this, Bihar is a big state as well as Hindi heart land. Every political news of Bihar is national news. If Arvind Kejriwal gets good vote share in this state, then he will help in setting up AAP at the national level. Although AAP has a national party status in 4 states, if you get the status of a national party in Bihar too, then it will be icing in gold for the party. To maintain the status of the national party, there is a condition of 6% vote share in four states.
The Aam Aadmi Party is not descending with the claim of forming a government in Bihar nor to play the role of King Maker. But, there has always been new possibilities for new parties in the elections of politically sensitive state. Who knows what is written in the palm lines of AAP.
