As the days for the much-anticipated Bihar election come close, political statements against the parties have already started. Taking a dig at Mahagathbandhan, Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Keshav Prasad Maurya affirmed that the NDA is moving towards a major victory in the upcoming Bihar polls.
"In Bihar, the NDA is moving towards a very big victory. The Mahagathbandhan has already crumbled even before the elections. All parties of the NDA coalition are contesting the elections together and receiving very good support from the public," Maurya told ANI.
Also, Janata Dal (United) leader and Union Minister Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan Singh) emphasised his previous statement, calling Mahagathbandhan a "gang of cheats" or "Thugbandhan". He also asserted that the party is running for the Bihar Assembly Polls under the leadership of Nitish Kumar.
The Uttar Pradesh deputy chief minister further said that, "I have said it before, and I am saying it again, there is no 'Mahagathbandhan' but only 'Thugbandhan' (gang of cheats)... Amit Shah has repeatedly said that we are participating in the Bihar elections under the supervision and leadership of Nitish Kumar... The opposition is only trying to portray our image negatively...they can do whatever they want; voters know everything," as cited by news agency ANI.
Earlier on Tuesday, Lalan Singh further highlighted the unity of the NDA alliance and said, "The list (of candidates) will be released on time, and everything will be done on time. Under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, the NDA is united, and we are contesting the elections with unity," as cited by news agency ANI.
Lalan Singh further called the Mahagathbandhan a "gang of cheats" and added, "They are creating jobs by registering land and dreaming of transforming Bihar. The people of Bihar understand everything. They are a gang of cheats, all engaged in cheating."
Moreover, the Bihar Assembly elections 2025 will take place on November 6 and 11. The results will be announced on November 14. While the NDA has already finalised its seat-sharing arrangement for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, with the BJP and Janata Dal (United) set to contest 101 constituencies each, Jan Suraaj party founder Prashant Kishor said that he will not be contesting the Bihar elections.
On the other hand, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha's Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) have been allotted six seats each, while Union Minister Chirag Paswan's Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will contest 29 seats.
