Can India strengthen its claim in alliance for the Lok Sabha Elections?
Reportedly everything is not going well in the ruling 'Grand Alliance' in Bihar. There are speculations about chief minister Nitish Kumar's JDU joining the BJP-led nda again. Due to these speculations, political excitement has once again increased in bihar and a period of speculation has started. Recently the distance between JDU and Lalu prasad Yadav in RJD has increased. Amidst all this, JDU has called all its MLAs to the capital Patna. On the other hand, bjp has called its state president Samrat Chaudhary to Delhi. According to sources, Samrat Chaudhary will meet Union home minister amit shah and bjp President jp nadda at 7 pm. Amidst this political turmoil, the question is whether there is going to be a change of power in Bihar? Should the assembly be dissolved and assembly elections held in the state along with the Lok Sabha? According to the equations being created in the state now, chief minister nitish kumar has options.
Hence despite all the ups and downs, nitish kumar can still remain in the Grand Alliance, but on his own terms. lok sabha elections are round the corner. There is a tussle going on between the three parties of the Grand Alliance, JDU, RJD and congress regarding seat sharing. In such a situation, nitish kumar would like JDU to get the seats it is demanding from the Grand Alliance. If this does not happen then nitish kumar will keep the option of exiting the grand alliance open.
Last year, opposition parties formed india alliance to stop prime minister Narendra Modi from sitting at the pinnacle of power for the third time. Since then there were speculations that nitish kumar would be made the coordinator of india alliance, but it did not happen. Also, the opposition parties could not coordinate regarding seat distribution. If Nitish comes out of india alliance then it will cause a big blow to the alliance in Bihar. In such a situation, nitish kumar can strengthen his claim in the alliance by coordinating with Congress-RJD.
