Kharge discusses 2024 poll preparedness with Congress’ Bihar unit
“The Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government in Bihar is as per the expectations of the people of the state,” Kharge said after the meeting.
“The Mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) government in Bihar is as per the expectations of the people of the state,” Kharge said after the meeting.
The two main partners – Left and the Congress – were more vocal on these issues, but the government hardly took note of it despite a series of their statements in the media.
Bihar's deputy chief minister and RJD leader silenced his detractors by saying, “My only target is to defeat BJP in the 2024 general election.”
An “oust-Modi campaign” will start from Purnia from where Union Home Minister Amit Shah had launched his party’s campaign against the newly-formed grand alliance in September last.
Kusum Devi managed to receive 70,053 votes after the completion of all 24 rounds of counting, while the RJD candidate secured 68259 votes.
"This is a mismatched alliance between RJD and JD(U). It is said that the chief minister will be changed after two months," said Pashupati Paras.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar has accepted the resignation of Agriculture Minister Sudhakar Singh, officials said on Sunday.
The meeting was attended by RJD Supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav and other senior leaders of the party.
In a setback to Nitish Kumar's Janata Dal-United (JDU), a total of 15 members of JDU from Dadra and Nagar Haveli joined the Bharatiya Janata Party on Monday.
Tej Pratap's move comes at a time when the BJP and JD-U are at loggerheads over several issues, including caste-based census, leadership of NDA in Bihar, liquor ban, law and order situation.
