The political stage in Bihar is witnessing a showdown as the Mahagathbandhan, led by the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), declares its full unity. This comes as they finalize seat-sharing arrangements ahead of elections for 243 constituencies on November 6 and November 11.
Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot, along with AICC Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru, reinforced this unity claim after a meeting with RJD's Lalu Prasad Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. Issues of minor 'friendly fights' remain, but Gehlot downplayed their significance, emphasizing the alliance's strength.
RJD's Tejashwi Yadav made significant pledges, including permanent government roles for Jeevika Didis, sparking fierce opposition from the NDA. Bihar's BJP leaders challenged these promises, questioning their feasibility amidst ongoing political drama, defections, and allegations of election interference.
