Congress leaders talked to CM Nitish Kumar
Bihar State Congress President Dr. Akhilesh Prasad Singh and Legislative Party leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan reached Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s official residence at One Anne Marg on Wednesday. There was a conversation between the three leaders of the India Alliance for more than half an hour. Regarding the reason for this meeting, Congress leaders say that there was a discussion with the Chief Minister regarding the Bharat Jodo Nyaya Yatra of former Congress National President Rahul Gandhi.
Rahul Gandhi’s visit to Bihar..
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge had recently said in the meeting of India Alliance parties that Rahul Gandhi has invited all the parties to participate in the yatra. Rahul Gandhi will enter Bihar via Kishanganj on January 27 or 28 as part of his Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra. In Bihar, we will cover a distance of about 425 kilometers on foot in seven districts including Kishanganj, Araria, Purnia, Katihar.
Congress leaders reached Rabri residence to meet Lalu Yadav..
Here, regarding the meeting of the State Congress President with the Chief Minister, it is believed that seat sharing was also discussed between the three leaders. After meeting the Chief Minister, Congress President Akhilesh Prasad Singh went to the residence of former Chief Minister Rabri Devi and also met RJD President Lalu Prasad and Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Prasad Yadav.
There will be a fight on 40 seats
Let us tell you that there is going to be a fierce battle for Lok Sabha elections on 40 seats in Bihar. This time JDU will contest against NDA in the elections. The political equations of Bihar have changed and 40 seats are to be divided between Congress, RJD, JDU and Left parties. There has been continuous rhetoric from JDU regarding seat sharing in India soon. CM Nitish Kumar himself expressed his desire to decide this soon and has also expressed his displeasure over the delay on the part of Congress.
JDU staking claim on 16 seats
Many prominent leaders from JDU have made it clear that JDU will keep the 16 seats on which JDU candidates had won in the last elections. JDU claims a total of 17 seats. Whereas statements have come from RJD supremo Lalu Yadav and Congress that it is natural for seat sharing to take time and nothing is decided immediately. However, all the leaders have denied any kind of dispute in seat sharing and have claimed that the matter will be resolved soon.
Rahul Gandhi’s visit will heat up the atmosphere
It is noteworthy that this statement has come many times from JDU that Congress and Left parties will first hold talks with RJD. There will be a mutual agreement on the distribution of seats among the three. After that he will have talks with JDU. The argument behind this has been that JDU will fight on at least 16 seats under any circumstances. Now it is for the other parties in the alliance to decide how the formula will be decided on the remaining seats. Now, due to Rahul Gandhi’s Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in Seemanchal, the political atmosphere of the state is also going to heat up.
