India alliance will take its shape by Sunday. The former Union Minister has claimed that this will also start from Bihar only. JDU and RJD should come to a consensus in Bihar. His first responsibility is to give due respect to the main opposition party of the country. Senior strategist says that after consensus is reached in Patna, there will be no delay in Delhi. When asked about the obstacles coming in the way of the alliance, the source said that it is natural. Expectations from regional parties in the states are somewhat higher. In such a situation, the responsibility of realizing the reality is not only on Congress.
Regarding JDU fielding candidates on some Lok Sabha seats of Bihar apart from Arunachal Pradesh, the source said, what is the harm in it? It is known to everyone that Rae Bareli, Amethi, Wayanad are traditional seats of Congress. We can also announce candidates on such seats. Some seats including Mainpuri, Kannauj are traditional seats of Samajwadi Party. RJD also has some such seats. Only Sharad Pawar will have claim in Baramati.
There is a lot of excitement in Bihar
In Bihar, Nitish Kumar discussed with his close aide former JDU president Rajiv Ranjan (Lalan Singh). Nitish Kumar had also discussed on Wednesday. Nitish Kumar had gone to Lalan Singh’s house to drop him. After this, Nitish Kumar had a discussion with RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav. Tejashwi Yadav also went to meet Nitish Kumar at the Chief Minister’s residence. An MLA close to Tejashwi says that obviously, the Lok Sabha elections 2024 are most important at this time. The distribution of seats is important in this. The interesting thing is that people associated with ideology in Bihar want that the pairing of Lalu Prasad Yadav and Nitish Kumar should not break. Nitish Kumar and Lalu Prasad are also understanding each other’s importance. A JDU leader in Delhi clearly says that leave the false imagination of the media. We also know what respect we will get after returning to NDA and what price RJD will have to pay for it after our separation. JDU General Secretary KC Tyagi’s statement that no one is anyone’s enemy in politics, the source says that neither is there anything wrong in it nor should any conclusion be drawn on this basis.
There is nothing wrong, the seats are almost fixed.
Ministers in the Karnataka government and leaders close to Rahul Gandhi say that under the India alliance, all the allies will contest the elections together. A Congress leader from Bihar sitting in Delhi said that if Congress demanded 6 seats out of 40, then what did it do wrong? Our MP is from Kishanganj. Then the Left party needs at least 2 seats. Left parties want to contest on three seats. The source says that currently both the major parties are claiming 18 seats each, but it seems that Congress will contest 6 seats and Left parties will contest 2024 Lok Sabha elections in Bihar. The remaining seats will go to RJD and JD(U).
