RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav met with senior Congress leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and party president Mallikarjun Kharge, on Tuesday to discuss the Mahagathbandhan’s (Grand Alliance) preparations for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.
Yadav was accompanied by RJD MPs Manoj Jha and Sanjay Yadav during the meeting held at Kharge’s residence in New Delhi. Key Congress figures, including general secretary (Organisation) K C Venugopal, Bihar Congress president Rajesh Kumar, and AICC Bihar in-charge Krishna Allavaru, also attended the strategy session.
The meeting highlighted ongoing deliberations among Mahagathbandhan allies, who are gearing up for what is expected to be a fiercely contested battle with the NDA. Sources suggest intense seat-sharing negotiations are expected as all partners aim to boost their influence at the grassroots level.
This discussion follows Congress’ recent internal strategy meeting, where it reiterated its commitment to fighting the election as part of the INDIA bloc. The party emphasized that a “collective decision” would be taken regarding the chief ministerial candidate.
The RJD-led Mahagathbandhan, with Congress as a key partner, is determined to reclaim governance in Bihar from the ruling NDA in the assembly elections scheduled later this year.
