Bihar’s Mahagathbandhan on Friday finally announced its seat-sharing agreement for the state’s 40 seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, with the Rashtriya Janata Dal contesting 26 seats, the Congress nine, and Left parties contesting the remaining five.
Amid the setbacks it has been facing, the latest being its inability to reach a consensus for seat-sharing in Maharashtra for the upcoming Lok Sabha polls, the Opposition INDIA alliance may find a bright spot in Bihar.
After the Ram temple in Ayodhya, plans are afoot to make a “grand temple” for Sita in Sitamarhi district in north Bihar, considered to be her place of birth. The Bihar government has decided, in principle, to acquire 50 acres around an existing temple in Sitamarhi to construct a new temple.
The BJP seems to be close to finalising a seat-sharing agreement with its allies in Bihar, with Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief and Jamui MP Chirag Paswan likely to score over his estranged uncle and Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) chief Pashupati Kumar Paras.
A close aide of Lalu Prasad, Subhash Yadav, the Patna-based businessman who has been arrested by the Enforcement Directorate (ED) in a sand mining case, has been associated with the RJD chief since early 1990s.
ITS FLURRY of tie-ups and induction of leaders from other parties would eventually have led to the situation the the BJP finds itself facing in Bihar: a problem of plenty. Having signed up with the JD(U), it now has to not just find a way to keep Chirag Paswan and his Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) happy, but also his estranged uncle by its side.
A day before the Opposition comes together for one of its biggest rallies since the INDIA alliance was formed last year, Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, ironically the leader who took the initiative to form the Opposition bloc, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi will share the stage at events in both Aurangabad and Begusarai. Both are Lok Sabha constituencies currently held by the BJP.
A fortnight afterthree RJD MLAs crossed over to the JD(U) during the confidence motion moved by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar to prove his majority at the head of an NDA government, three more legislators from the INDIA bloc surfaced among the Treasury ranks Tuesday.
