While RJD state chief Mangani Mandal says Congress is free to exit alliance, the latter has said tie-up was ‘only for elections’ and that it plans to focus on strengthening itself.
‘Vote Chor, Gaddi Chhod’, rallying cry of Rahul-Tejashwi’s Voter Adhikar Yatra, still features in RJD leader’s speeches, but not prominently. SIR finds no mention though.
After 2014 and 2019 defeats, Congress has been dumped by most Next-Gen leaders who prefer to keep the states for themselves and also join a 'Congress-mukt' power structure in Parliament.
RJD chief Lalu Prasad has returned to Bihar after 3.5 years, and will be addressing rallies in Kusheshwar Asthan and Tarapur, where bypolls are scheduled for 30 October.
Even after winning the Bihar assembly election, if JD(U) president and incumbent CM Nitish Kumar feels insecure and forlorn, he has only himself to blame.
But for a poor show from the Congress, Tejashwi would’ve achieved his CM ambitions. It’s redemption for a politician whose credentials were questioned just last year.
The contrast between surly incumbent Nitish Kumar and calm pretender Tejashwi Yadav has been neatly juxtaposed on TV, which has gone the extra mile in its coverage of Bihar election.
Reiterating his pre-poll promise—'I have a plan'—Tarique Rahman said he has already begun work on all-inclusive strategies and hopes that the people will join him in this journey.
This is the game every nation is now learning to play. Some are finding new allies or seeing value among nations where they’d seen marginal interest. The starkest example is India & Europe.
