In 2014, Bihar, along with other parts of North India, was swept by the Narendra Modi wave -- which allowed the BJP to register is best-ever electoral performance in the state. Notably, the anti-BJP bloc had not formed a pre-poll alliance ahead of the last elections in 2014.

This time around, however, pre-poll coalitions have not only been formed, but also rejigged. The JD(U) is back into the BJP-led NDA fold, whereas, the RLSP has switched over to the Mahagathbandhan led by the RJD-Congress combine. In the last general elections, the BJP had won 22 seats, whereas, its allies LJP and RLSP bagged 6 and 3 seats, respectively. The RJD won 4 constituencies, whereas, the Congress and the JD(U) were reduced to 2 each.
