Tensions have surfaced within the Mahagathbandhan after the Bihar election loss. RJD votes go to Congress they only cause us harm, said the Rashtriya Janata Dal while responding sharply to Congress leader Shakeel Ahmed. The RJD repeated that RJD votes go to Congress they only cause us harm, accusing its ally of blaming others instead of accepting responsibility.
The strong reaction came after Shakeel Ahmed suggested that the alliance with RJD damaged Congress politically. He claimed Congress suffered because of its partnership in Bihar.
RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari rejected the claim. He said Congress wins seats only because of RJD’s voter base. According to him, Congress lacks ground strength in Bihar and depends heavily on RJD support.
Tiwari added that Congress should focus on building its organization instead of making public accusations. He stressed that internal criticism weakens opposition unity and helps political rivals.
The exchange highlights growing discomfort within the opposition alliance after the election defeat. Leaders from both sides now face pressure to review their strategies and coordination.
Political observers say such statements could deepen cracks in the Mahagathbandhan if not addressed soon. With future elections in mind, maintaining unity may prove challenging if blame games continue.
