Abstract
The election in Bihar is unique in more was than one. The rapidly changing political equations have finally given way to the bipolar contests between the two main coalitions: the Congress, the CPI(M) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal as one pole and the BJP and the Janata Dal (United) as the other. With the People's War and the MCC boycotting the elections, the state is not lik ely to see a peaceful time in the weeks to come.
