Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan has said that the alliance with RJD is loss-making deal for the Congress in Bihar. He claimed the party has failed to gain political strength or electoral advantage from the partnership. According to him, the alliance with RJD is loss-making deal because Congress continues to lose seats and influence.
Khan said the Congress has remained a weak partner in the Grand Alliance. He added that major decisions, including seat sharing and campaign planning, usually favor the RJD. This has affected the morale of Congress workers at the ground level.
He pointed out that Congress candidates often contest on difficult seats while the party does not get enough space to grow its organisation. As a result, voters do not see Congress as an independent force in Bihar.
The senior leader also referred to recent election results. He said the poor performance clearly shows the need for introspection. Khan believes Congress must rethink its alliances and focus on rebuilding its base.
His remarks have triggered fresh political debate in Bihar. Some party leaders agree with him, while others feel unity is still necessary to challenge rival parties.
The statement may influence future alliance talks ahead of upcoming elections in the state.
