Nitish Kumar is all set to arrive in Delhi in the first week of April to campaign for the JD(U) in the upcoming MCD elections. Reportedly, two big rallies have been planned. The JD(U) has fielded candidates for all 272 seats, spread over three civic bodies.

The party’s Delhi unit has been preparing for the event since December. Sanjay Jha, the JD(U)’s national General Secretary, has been appointed as the head of the Delhi operation.

The voter demographic in Delhi has undergone quite a bit of change over the last 15 years. Voters from Bihar and eastern UP have built up enough political influence to rival the traditional Punjabi, Jat, and Khatri vote.

A steady inflow of migrant workers from the former two into the nation’s capital over the last decade and half has altered the political balance of Delhi.
