Bihar Elections 2025 | Gathbandhan On Rocks, Congress In Dock?

With 'friendly fights' between allies threatening the Mahagathbandhan's prospects in the upcoming Bihar election, Congress veteran Ashok Gehlot has been rushed to Patna to resolve the impasse. Gehlot will be meeting Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav to iron out differences between the allies. Leaders of the Mahagathbandhan are expected to send a message of unity, and the Congress may finally endorse Tejashwi as the alliance's Chief Ministerial face, sources said. Gehlot, a Congress old-timer and Rajasthan's former Chief Minister, and former Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel are the party's senior election observers for the Bihar election. Speaking to news agency ANI before leaving for Bihar, Gehlot said all confusion would be cleared soon. "There can be a friendly fight in some seats. The process is moving forward. We will hold a press conference, and the situation will be cleared. All the confusion will be cleared. Mahagathbandhan will contest the elections strongly," he said.
