Congress bowed before Rashtriya Janata Dal.

Indie Alliance, which started from Bihar, could not come out of the umbrella of the Grand Alliance even after reaching Delhi. Congress, which is going to take charge of Indi Alliance, had to make requests after requests to Rashtriya Janata Dal for its seats in Bihar. But, the result was zero. In the Lok Sabha elections 2019, Congress’s views were accepted only on the only seat won by Congress in Bihar. The rest was given to him by RJD as per its wish. Took Begusarai first. Then Aurangabad. After that Purnia. Now there is talk of Valmikinagar and Katihar also going into RJD’s account. RJD President Lalu Prasad Yadav and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav did not agree to return the RJD symbols to the candidates. Now after holding the final meeting at 11 am in Delhi, the Grand Alliance will announce the seat sharing in Bihar.
While RJD does not have a candidate, Congress has a chance.
There is a strange uneasiness visible within the Bihar Pradesh Congress. State Congress President Akhilesh Singh may say all is well, but it is being said that he also has a role in everything not being well. By sending him to Rajya Sabha, RJD has done a favor to Congress and now it is being said that Congress is also facing cuts in his name in the seat distribution. But, if we look at the information received from Delhi so far, Kanhaiya Kumar’s claim from Begusarai was canceled first. Then Nikhil Kumar was also wiped out from Aurangabad. RJD had given ticket to Bima Bharti while joining its party. He was given the green signal for Purnia in place of Pappu Yadav, who had newly joined Congress. RJD also has a candidate from Valmikinagar, whereas last time Congress had fielded a candidate from there. Congress is trying for Balmikinagar, but in this situation it may have to lose Tariq Anwar’s favorite Katihar seat. The picture will be clear by afternoon, because today is the last day of nomination from Aurangabad, Gaya, Nawada and Jamui in the first phase.
