Expansion
The candidates for Lok Sabha elections 2024 will get very little opportunity to prepare. Still waiting for the second list of Bharatiya Janata Party. Bihar’s name was not in the first list of BJP. Now when Congress also released the list, Bihar’s name is not there. In Bihar itself, the ground for opposition unity against Prime Minister Narendra Modi was prepared, but here only the potential candidates are sitting in the hope of announcing their names. ‘Amar Ujala’ has already told where the National Democratic Alliance is stuck in Bihar. You can read it from this link. For now, know here why the Congress vehicle did not move towards Bihar?
Waiting for the picture to become clear after the uproar
National Democratic Alliance, i.e. NDA has 30 out of 40 seats in Bihar. Congress got one seat in the Lok Sabha elections 2019. Its ally and elder brother Rashtriya Janata Dal in Bihar does not have a single MP. This time too, the contest is with Bharatiya Janata Party, CM Nitish Kumar’s party Janata Dal United and late Ram Vilas Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party. This camp is stronger than before, because this time former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi with his party Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular and Upendra Kushwaha with his party Rashtriya Lok Morcha are contesting from the NDA side. But, Congress-RJD and Left parties are waiting for many more things. Like, where will Mukesh Sahni definitely go with his Vikassheel Insaan Party?
If NDA candidates are decided then the divisions will stop.
Apart from this, considering the continuous breakdown that Congress-RJD have been facing since the day Chief Minister Nitish Kumar secured majority on 12th February, it is also a compulsion to wait for the Grand Alliance till the finalization of seat sharing of NDA. . After the seat distribution of NDA, the candidates will be declared, then there will be some pause on the divisions and only then RJD-Congress will know who is not breaking from their side. This is also because these parties did not have the slightest hope about the RJD-Congress MLAs who broke away and joined the BJP or the ruling party.
