The Bihar elections are just a few days away, the spicy comments on each other by the political parties have already been intensified. Other than slamming the opposition party, the BJP on Sunday had indicated that this year’s Bihar assembly elections will be a direct contest between the National Democratic Alliance and the Mahagathbandhan.
BJP leader Dilip Jaiswal hinted that Prashant Kishor’s entry into the Bihar elections was a "part of an election strategy".
BJP leader, while hitting out at Jan Suraj Party founder Prashant Kishor, said that, “This is part of an election strategy. The people of Bihar now understand that the election is between the Mahagathbandhan and the NDA... The third factor will be revealed after the election," as cited by news agency ANI.
Jaiswal further claimed that there was a lack of consensus among the constituents of Mahagathbandhan over the allocation of seats for the polls.
The BJP leader further added that, "There were some seats where even the LJP considered itself strong. The BJP also considered itself strong... We took two days to conduct a survey, aiming to better assess which candidate had the most potential in those seats.”
He added, “The Mahagathbandhan failed to distribute seats transparently fully... Mukesh Sahani stated that the Mahagathbandhan requires treatment, and the best doctors are located in Delhi. Meaning, he also believes that the best doctors are in Delhi," as cited by news agency ANI.
Dilip Jaiswal further said that Mukesh Sahani's Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) has "lost the trust" of the Nishad and Sahani communities.
"Mukesh Sahani (Vikassheel Insaan Party) (VIP), has lost the trust of the Nishad and Sahani communities. He believes he can run his politics based on the Nishad and Sahani community's vote bank. ... The Sahani community in Bihar is outraged that Mukesh Sahani merely exploits them..." Dilip Jaiswali asserted, as per the news agency ANI.
Earlier on Thursday, Congress released its first list of 48 candidates for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, fielding its state unit chief Rajesh Ram from the Kutumba seat and CLP leader Shakeel Ahmad Khan from Kadwa.
The Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 will take place on November 6 and 7. The results will be announced on November 14.
