Home Minister Amit Shah will address the gathering at Bagaha in Bihar today. On the other hand, a grand rally of the Grand Alliance is being held in Purnia, 400 km away from Shah’s meeting. In this, Janata Dal United (JDU) leader and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav will address.
Apart from these, National General Secretary of Communist Party of India (ML) Dipankar Bhattacharya will also be present on the stage of Nitish-Tejashwi. Due to the national convention of Congress being held in Raipur, Chhattisgarh, it is not yet clear which big leaders from his party will participate.
Purnia is covered with posters regarding the Grand Alliance rally.
Will reply to Amit Shah
Tejashwi Yadav had taken the decision of Purnia rally on the same day Amit Shah had chosen Purnia for the meeting. The mobilization of anti-BJP parties in Seemanchal is in view of the Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2024. The CPI(ML) organized a gathering of the opposition parties in Patna on 18 February.
Grand Alliance rally stage.
Senior Congress leader Salman Khurshid along with Nitish Kumar, Tejashwi Yadav were present in this. But this gathering was stuck on the issue of who will say I love you first, Congress or Nitish Kumar.
Salman Khurshid had told from the stage that Nitish ji, I will convey your words to the Congress high command. I will act as a lawyer for you. What you are thinking, Congress is also thinking the same.
It’s just a matter of who should say I love you first. In the midst of all this, Nitish Kumar also gave an ultimatum to the Congress. He said that you see, we have talked to many opposition parties. Just waiting for you guys.
A rally is being organized by the Grand Alliance in Purnia.
Check and balance going on inside the Grand Alliance
Since the formation of the new government in Bihar, it is being discussed that Nitish Kumar will do politics at the Center and Tejashwi will become the Chief Minister. Nitish Kumar needs Lalu Prasad’s support in his campaign to unite the opposition parties. Lalu Prasad also wants Tejashwi to become the Chief Minister.
Many RJD MLAs have demanded to make Tejashwi the Chief Minister. What the RJD did with the Congress within the Grand Alliance, especially in the by-elections, is not hidden from anyone. Now we will have to wait how the Congress will react in the Lok Sabha elections.
Rahul Gandhi has strengthened himself and the Congress through his journey. Akhilesh Prasad Singh has been made the new state president in Bihar Congress.
His image is of a strong leader with money power. The interesting thing is that Congress and Male have been continuously demanding to form the Coordination Committee and why JDU along with RJD kept ignoring it. Congress and Male understand this very well. Overall, the game of checks and balances is going on within the Grand Alliance itself.
As soon as the new government was formed in Bihar, it was being discussed that Nitish Kumar would do politics at the center and Tejashwi would become the Chief Minister.
Eye on MY, AIMIM should not become powerful again
If we look at the politics of Seemanchal, the Rashtriya Janata Dal, the party of Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav, has been dominating for a long time. RJD’s MY equation continued to gain strength from here. But Owaisi has weakened the power of RJD. As a result, Akhtarul Iman from Amour seat, Syed Ruknuddin Ahmed from Baisi, Shahnawaz Alam from Jokihat, Mohammad Izhar Asafi from Kochadhaman, Mohammad Anzar Naeemi from Bahadurganj won the elections. Tejashwi Yadav took revenge and inducted all the four MLAs except Akhtarul Iman into his party. RJD again became the single largest party.
Situation bad in four Loksabha of Seemanchal
Kishanganj, Katihar, Araria and Purnea are the four Lok Sabha constituencies in Seemanchal. The condition of RJD has worsened here. Santosh Kushwaha of JDU defeated Uday Singh of Congress in Purnia. In Katihar, Dulal Chand Goswami of JDU defeated Tariq Anwar of Congress. BJP’s Pradeep Singh defeated RJD’s Sarfaraz Alam in Araria. Mo. of Congress in Kishanganj. Javed defeated Mehmood Ashraf of JDU. Now the politics of Bihar has changed, it is different from last time.
The gathering of anti-BJP parties in Seemanchal is in view of the Lok Sabha elections to be held in 2024.
Congress, RJD and JDU are together. BJP is on the other side. Therefore, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the distribution of seats among the parties of the Grand Alliance is a bigger challenge. At the time of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, there was an alliance of Congress, RJD and RLSP, with BJP, JDU and Ram Vilas Paswan’s LJP being on the other side. Home Minister Amit Shah on September 23 last year in Purnia and on September 24 in Kishanganj Addressing the public meeting, the bugle has been blown for the 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
Now Nitish-Tejashwi are going to roar from Purnia. RJD state spokesperson Chittaranjan Gagan’s Grand Alliance rally in Purnia will be unprecedented. The message of making the country BJP free will go from here. There is rocky unity in the Grand Alliance. This country belongs to all the people. The year 2024 will begin with the rally in Purnia. There will be a conch shell to oust the BJP from the chair of the center.
Mathematics of votes in Seemanchal
If we look at the Lok Sabha constituencies of Seemanchal, Kishanganj Lok Sabha has the maximum number of 67 percent Muslim voters. After this, there are 38 percent voters in Katihar, 32 percent in Araria, 30 percent in Purnia. Muslim voters in Bihar are 16 percent.
