Bihar President Mangani Lal Mandal made a significant statement.
RJD Bihar President Mangani Lal Mandal made a significant statement. He said that allies are demanding more seats, but we want seat-sharing in the Bihar Assembly elections based on the same formula as the seat-sharing agreement in the Grand Alliance for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. We have sent the formula to the allies.
A formal announcement on seat-sharing will be made in the next 48 hours. He further stated that the Rashtriya Janata Dal has asked its candidates to file nominations. RJD candidates have been asked to file nominations for seats where there is no dispute. There is nothing wrong with this. A seat-sharing manifesto and a joint candidate announcement will be made. After this, the Grand Alliance parties will formally declare Tejashwi Yadav as the CM face.
Why Tejashwi Yadav failed to become CM
The RJD leader stated that Tejashwi Yadav is the face. He was also the face in 2020. He said that in 2020, we had given 70 seats to the Congress, of which it lost 51. Therefore, we were deprived of forming the government, and Tejashwi Yadav could not become CM. Taking a dig at the allies, he said that they should consider their own candidates and make seat demands only after considering their support base.
There’s no place for these leaders.
Mangli Lal Mandal said that there’s no place for Chirag Paswan, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and Upendra Kushwaha in the Grand Alliance. He said that they have multiple candidates for one seat.
