Mahagathbandhan Unveils Tejashwi as CM Candidate, Emphasizes Unity in Bihar Elections

Tejashwi Yadav has been declared the chief ministerial candidate for the Mahagathbandhan in the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls. Congress asserts the INDIA bloc as a coalition based on respect and shared power, disagreeing with the notion of it being a one-man show. Mukesh Sahni and other leaders are named deputy CM candidates.

Tejashwi Yadav, chosen as the Mahagathbandhan's face for the Bihar Assembly polls, represents a strategic move by the INDIA bloc, underscoring its stance as more than a one-man show.

Announced at a joint press conference in Patna, the decision was backed by congress stalwarts including Ashok Gehlot and party president Mallikarjun Kharge. The declaration of Yadav as a CM candidate reflects a commitment to inclusive politics.

Additionally, elements from various communities, including Vikassheel Insan Party's Mukesh Sahni, have been designated as deputy CMs, highlighting a diverse, power-sharing approach by the opposition alliance.
