Patna (Bihar) [India], October 15 (ANI): As Bihar gears up for the 2025 Assembly elections, RJD leader Mrityunjay Tiwari said internal rifts are visible within the NDA, stating that the alliance now stands for ‘Naiya Doobegi Abki Baar’.
The polling for the 243-seat Bihar Assembly is scheduled to take place on November 6 and November 11, and votes will be counted on November 14.
Speaking to ANI, Tiwari said that the people of Bihar want a Tejashwi Yadav-led government.
“Everything is fine in the Mahagathbandhan, there are no ifs or buts, no conflicts. The Mahagathbandhan is united and is fighting the elections strongly. With immense public support and the blessings of the people, a Tejashwi government is going to be formed in Bihar,” he said.
Tiwari further added, “This is the farewell of the NDA. Upendra Kushwaha has also said that something is not right somewhere, Jitan Ram Manjhi is upset, Nitish Kumar is upset. NDA now stands for ‘Naiya Doobegi Abki Baar’….Now, Bihar wants a Tejashwi government.”
Earlier today, Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) national president and Rajya Sabha MP Upendra Kushwaha said he is heading to Delhi to hold talks on recent seat-sharing decisions within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA).
“I am going to Delhi. Some thought needs to be done on the decisions that are being made in the NDA. I am going to Delhi to hold talks on the same. I’m hopeful that everything will be fine…” he told reporters.
Rashtriya Lok Morcha chief, with Union Minister Nityanand Rai, headed to Delhi to discuss NDA seat-sharing.
Reacting to the same matter, Rai said that “everything would be fine soon”.
“Just like Upendra ji has said, everything is fine and everything will be fine soon,” the Union Minister said.
Soon after the NDA announced seat-sharing arrangements for the upcoming Bihar elections, the RLM national president on Sunday said that the party’s allocation of six seats in the upcoming Bihar elections may disappoint many.
Kushwaha said that the decision “this decision will sadden thousands and millions of people,” including colleagues who aspired to contest.
He asked for an understanding of the party’s constraints and circumstances that led to the decision.
In a post on X on Sunday, Upendra Kushwaha wrote, “I seek your forgiveness. The number of seats could not be as expected. “I seek forgiveness from all of you. The number of seats hasn’t met your expectations. I understand that this decision will sadden thousands and millions of people, including colleagues who aspired to be candidates for our party. Today, in many homes, food might not have been cooked. However, I am sure you all understand the constraints and limitations of both me and the party.”
