Tejashwi-Congress Clash in Bihar Election: Before the Bihar assembly elections 2025, political tussle has started about the role of ‘elder brother’ in the grand alliance. The Congress has made it clear that the campaign for the grand alliance in the upcoming elections will be commanded by him. This statement by Congress General Secretary Nasir Hussain on Thursday has caused panic in the political corridors. It is believed that the Congress has given a clear message to Tejashwi Yadav’s party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) who will play in the alliance this time. This statement has come at a time when the screw is already stuck in the grand alliance regarding seat sharing and Chief Minister (CM) face. Top Congress leaders have been avoiding the question of declaring Tejashwi Yadav as the Chief Minister’s face, which has deepened the suspense.
Congress issues will be included in the Manifesto of the Grand Alliance
Congress General Secretary Nasir Hussain said this big thing during a press conference at the party state office Sadakat Ashram in Patna. He announced that the Congress would not only include its issues in the Election Manifesto (Manifesto) of the Grand Alliance, but will also fulfill those promises when they come to power. Hussain reiterated the Congress’s resolve to increase the reservation of the most backward classes. He claimed that the party has implemented it in Congress -ruled states Karnataka and Telangana and will be implemented in Bihar as well. This emphasis of the Congress has come after the recent statement of Tejashwi Yadav, in which they pledged to increase reservation for the most backward classes, which makes it clear that the Congress now wants to get ahead in the race to take credit.
Mood of ‘across’ on seat sharing: 76 seats list
The announcement of assembly elections in Bihar is possible next month. Earlier, there is a deadlock over seat sharing in the Grand Alliance. According to sources, the Congress has submitted a list of 76 seats to the RJD. The party has even warned that if there is further delay in seat sharing, then the Congress will give its candidates’ campaign for campaigning in 30 seats. This aggressive stance of the Congress is believed to be part of the strategy to pressurize RJD.
Congress’s ‘big suspense’ on Tejashwi’s CM face
While RJD and VIP Tejashwi are projecting Tejashwi Yadav as the CM face of the grand alliance in the upcoming Bihar elections, the Congress is keeping silence on this important question. From Leader of Opposition Rahul Gandhi to Bihar Congress in -charge Krishna Allavaru in the Lok Sabha, all the top leaders have been avoiding the question of declaring Tejashwi as CM face. Allavaru had said in Patna on Wednesday that it is not his issue to declare the face of the Chief Minister, but how to stop the theft of votes is an issue. This suspense -filled attitude of the Congress clearly indicates that this time the party wants a big role in Bihar politics and it is not in the mood to give RJD the status of ‘elder brother’ easily.
