Yes, they do and they did. Nitish Kumar, the Chief Minister of Bihar(a backward state), was reelected with absolutely majority due to his honest and dedicated efforts during his 1st 5 year tenure. Poor/Rich, people of all castes/religions, voted unanimously for him and his good work.
Another wrong and irrelevant comment. I live in India. I am from Bihar. I know how my state works and how my Chief Minister is elected every 5 years. Both the main parties are headed by their respective leaders. Nitish Kumar heads the JDU and there has never been any doubt, before or after the elections, whatsoever, that he was going to be the Chief Minister. Yes, the party can elect anyone as the chief minister but thats purely in theory. In practice, every party throws forward their chief candidate for the Chief Minister post and they have always stuck to it - in every state - over last 60 years of Independence.
I suggest you stop trolling HN with your predefined bias against India. Yes, we have problems and we acknowledge it more than anyone else but you should stop trolling.
You have no basis but online links that have no relation to the transformation that is underway. Try and search around about the transformation of Bihar over last 5 years since Nitish Kumar came to power and how it is the 2nd fastest growing state in India and how corruption has taken a steep dive. It's okay. You want to hate, do so. I ll pass.
