Mahagathbandhan

RJD has formally announced its candidates for all but one of the 23 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, where the party is contesting as a constituent of the opposition 'Mahagathbandhan'.

After some consternation over the RJD unilaterally announcing the names of candidates for the four constituencies going to polls in the first phase, the opposition Mahagathbandhan in Bihar has finalised seat-sharing for the Lok Sabha elections.

The Mahagathbandhan, the opposition coalition in Bihar, on Friday announced that the RJD, its largest constituent, will contest 26, out of the state's 40 Lok Sabha seats.

A day after Congress leader Rahul Gandhi ended his 63-day-long Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Mumbai, members of the opposition bloc INDIA also met in the city today, where they stressed on the need for a "national Mahagathbandhan".

In fresh trouble for Bihar's opposition 'Mahagathbandhan', three MLAs of the Congress-RJD combine on Tuesday sat with members of the ruling coalition inside the state assembly.

A month after Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar made an exit from the Mahagathbandhan to realign with the BJP-led NDA, the RJD seems hopeful the JDU leader will again make a U-turn.

With the JD(U)s re-entry, the NDA's seat tally is back to around 350 seats, close to the 2019 tally of 353. The ruling alliance now needs just 50 more seats to cross the magical mark of 400.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary on Tuesday asserted that the newly formed NDA government will sail through the trust vote slated for next week and warned the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan of "stern action" if horse trading was attempted.

All but three MLAs of the Congress in Bihar, the second largest constituent of the 'Mahagathbandhan', which lost power last week, were on Sunday flown to Hyderabad amid fears of poaching by the BJP-led NDA, party sources said.

The newly formed Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) in Jharkhand under the leadership of Chief Minister Champai Soren will face the floor test on February 5, Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir said on Saturday.

Days after the fall of the Mahagathbandhan government in Bihar, Z-plus security cover accorded to former deputy chief minister and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav was withdrawn by the new dispensation on Wednesday.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's latest volte-face may have exposed him to a fresh wave of criticism over his string of flip-flops, but has improved the BJP's prospects months before the Lok Sabha polls, an NDTV Prashnam survey has found.

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was feeling trapped after getting a caste survey conducted under pressure from the Mahagathbandhan partners and the BJP "provided him with a way out", Congress leader Rahul Gandhi claimed on Tuesday.

Attacking Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for dumping the Mahagathbandhan and switching his side to the NDA, Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) President Sharad Pawar on Sunday said that the public will teach a lesson to the JDU chief in the future.

Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge on Sunday said that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's move to split from Mahagathbandhan and to join the NDA was 'pre-planned' and accused the JD(U) Chief of keeping the INDIA bloc in dark.
