Patna. In the politics of Bihar, the day of April 15 can be important. There is a meeting of Congress and RJD leaders in Patna tomorrow. In this, seat sharing in the Grand Alliance will be discussed. For some time, there is a discussion that local Congress leaders want the party to contest the Bihar assembly elections on their own. At the same time, former Bihar Congress president Akhilesh Prasad Singh had said that if the Congress will fight with the Grand Alliance, it will not compromise less than 70 seat. Recently, when Kanhaiya Kumar took a job, the escape was taken out, Rahul Gandhi joined it in Begusarai. RJD did not attend that visit.
The speculation of Lalu Yadav’s RJD and the Congress in Bihar has been going on since Lalu Yadav made a statement that the command of the Indy alliance should now be given to West Bengal CM and TMC supremo Mamata Banerjee. Mamta Banerjee and Lalu’s son Tejashwi Yadav’s political close is well known. In such a situation, everyone is watching whether there will be an agreement on seat sharing between RJD and Congress for Bihar assembly elections? One of the major reasons is that most of the 70 seats left by the RJD for the Congress were dominated by the NDA. In such a situation, Congress sources are also telling that the party wants such seats in Bihar assembly, on which it is strong. In such a situation, everyone’s eyes are now on Lalu and Tejashwi what they decide on the demand of the Congress.
Bihar Legislative Assembly has 243 seats. The Congress contested 70 seats in the Bihar Assembly elections in 2020. Out of which she could win only 19 seats. His strike rate was 27 percent. At the same time, Lalu Yadav’s RJD won 75 seats. BJP won 74 seats and Nitish Kumar’s JDU won 43 seats. The Grand Alliance won 110 seats. She was reduced to 12 less by majority. Earlier, the Congress fought 41 seats in the 2015 Bihar assembly elections and won 27 seats. Looking like this, the Congress has not been able to perform very well in the Bihar assembly elections for a long time and its political fleet has been going on to some extent by staying with RJD.
