The polls were held to form a new government in the state since the previous legislative regime had completed its tenure. A total of 243 constituencies were contested. The prime electoral battle was fought between the Mahagathbandhan comprising of Congress, Janata Dal (United) and Rashtriya Janata Dal against the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance including Lok Janshakti Party, Hindustani Awami Morcha and Rashtriya Lok Samata Party. Development was the primary poll plank along with with social engineering based on caste. In its concluding phase, a tinge of communalism was also inserted in the poll fray.
