Bihar BJP Takes a Jab at Mahagathbandhan’s Election Strategy

Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal critiques the Mahagathbandhan's seat-sharing strategy for Bihar elections, calling it 'maha-latth-bandhan.' Congress MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh acknowledges internal conflicts over ticket distribution. NDA likened to the Pandavas, emphasizes alliance principles. Bihar elections set for November, with main competition between NDA and Mahagathbandhan.

Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal launched a scathing attack on the Mahagathbandhan alliance during recent electoral talks, criticizing their seat-sharing formula and candidate selection for the forthcoming Bihar elections. Describing the coalition as the 'maha-latth-bandhan,' Jaiswal claimed voters have become aware of their tactics.

He questioned the opposition's concept of a 'friendly fight' in the elections, warning against a potential return to 'jungle raj 2.0.' In a candid admission, Congress MP Akhilesh Prasad Singh acknowledged a 'tussle' during ticket distribution within the Mahagathbandhan, which he said delivered a negative impression to the public.

Singh urged for immediate resolution, highlighting there's no place for 'friendly competition' in elections, and assured that the Congress high command is addressing the issue. Meanwhile, Jaiswal outlined the NDA's transparent approach, drawing parallels with the mythic five Pandavas, and announced Prime Minister Modi's scheduled rallies in Bihar.
