NEW DELHI: The Prime Minister is doing 30 rallies in Bihar during these elections - including 17 this week alone. While Narendra Modi remains the face of the BJP campaign in Bihar, notwithstanding that his rallies in Bihar are unprecedented in number and even more than the 27 in Maharastra during the elections there, what has been striking is the extent of involvement of union ministers in the Bihar polls At last count, 20 union ministers have been campaigning for the BJP in Bihar and that is nearly 1/3rd of the Council of Ministers. At least 10 of these ministers have been camping in Bihar for almost a month now while the rest have been paying regular visits to hold rallies in various corners of the state. 13 union ministers were in the field in Bihar on Sunday alone while Modi held his four rallies of the day and 10 held fort across the state with rallies on Monday.Read through the full list of union ministries whose political bosses are busy in Bihar - Chemicals, Petroleum, Consumer Affairs, Agriculture, Telecom, Human Resource Development, Micro and Small Enterprises, Home, Finance, External Affairs, Health, Textiles, Skill Development, Drinking Water and Sanitation, Railways, Road Transport and also Food Processing.On paper, BJP has more firepower than the opposition which just has Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad Yadav. Chemicals Minister Ananth Kumar is BJP's Bihar in-charge and Petroleum Minister Dharmendra Pradhan his deputy - so they will camp throughout. Agriculture Minister Radha Mohan Singh, Telecom Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, Food Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, Micro Industries MoS Giriraj Singh, Drinking Water MoS Ram Kripal, Skill Development MoS Rajiv Pratap Rudy and HRD MoS Upendra Kushwaha are Bihar faces in Council of Ministers and naturally want to stay put in Bihar. HRD Minister Smriti Irani and Home Minister Rajnath Singh have campaigned extensively, including on Monday. On Sunday, Venkiah Naidu, Arun Jaitley and Kalraj Mishra held rallies too.Nitish and Lalu mock the BJP at each rally saying the Central government is running 'Bhagwan Bharose' with its ministers in Patna -- drought in 300 districts in the country and rising prices of pulses have been raised to hammer in the 'neglect' shown by ministers to their jobs in Delhi. Radha Mohan Singh and Ramvilas Paswan had to hold a press conference, in Patna, to transfer the blame of rising prices of pulses on inaction of Nitish government. Singh has other pressing jobs in Patna - like successfully reversing the schedule of PM rallies on March 27 from Bettiah-Motihari-Sitamarhi to Sitamarhi-Bettiah-Motihari so that PM can be back in Patna quickly from Motihari (closest to Patna) that evening and leave for Delhi for the next day's Africa Summit there.Rudy camped in Chapra to organise Modi's rally on Sunday, Paswan supervised PM's Hajipur rally while Giriraj Singh was in-charge of PM's Nalanda rally - they are staying put in their respective areas till polling ends. Ravi Shankar Prasad is camping in Darbhanga while Ananth Kumar is in Bettiah till votes are cast - PM has rallies there too. The Chief Ministers of Madhya Pradesh and Jharkhand have campaigned in Bihar as well. Amidst all this, a problem of plenty is cropping up with CM probables making themselves heard. While BJP has said its Bihari CM will be sworn in, ally and HRD MoS Upendra Khushwaha has said CM will be from NDA alliance. Asked if he was a contender, he said "why not". Jitin Ram Manjhi has said PM has 'indicated' towards him while BJP's Sushil Modi and Prem Kumar feel they are in the race. That of course if BJP wins.
