Speaking to reporters in Patna, Tej Pratap said Rahul Gandhi should stay away from the race for power. He claimed Rahul has become too interested in the political chair and suggested that leadership may not suit him.

Speaking to the media, Tejashwi Yadav said the INDIA alliance did not ignore any partner while distributing seats for the elections. According to him, the RJD considered suggestions from allies and accommodated a few candidates based on requests from Hemant Soren.

Earlier, leaders of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) had expressed anger, claiming the party did not get any seat in the Bihar Assembly elections. This led to a brief verbal clash between leaders of the two parties.

Tejashwi also said party workers form the backbone of any political organization. He added that strengthening the party in Jharkhand would also strengthen the opposition alliance at the national level.

In the last Bihar Assembly elections, the NDA won a clear majority in the state, while the opposition alliance secured fewer seats.

In a review meeting at Delhi headquarters, most state leaders highlighted that the alliance harmed Congress’s vote share. Leaders noted that voters from certain communities preferred other parties, and the coalition did not improve Congress’s performance. They believe contesting alone will help rebuild the party’s presence across Bihar.

Despite these calls, the central leadership is cautious. They stress that a hasty exit from the India Alliance could weaken opposition unity in other states. RJD remains a key partner in the alliance, and top strategists recommend a careful approach before making any decisions.

Some other regional parties, like Trinamool Congress, have already chosen to go solo, reflecting broader uncertainty about alliance politics. Congress now faces the challenge of balancing state-level demands with national coalition strategy.

The Bihar election setback reduced the Grand Alliance to only 35 seats. Congress won just six seats out of 61 it contested. This poor performance pushed several allies to demand a new seat-sharing plan. Some leaders have even warned that they may leave the alliance.

The Trinamool Congress and the Samajwadi Party have challenged Congress’s leadership for months. They say local issues matter more, and they want a bigger role in decisions. Strategists believe the alliance must settle these disputes before the 2026 and 2027 elections.

The Samajwadi Party openly said that Akhilesh Yadav should lead the INDIA alliance. SP leaders praised his efforts in Bihar and claimed he deserved more respect. JMM also blamed Congress and RJD for ignoring their interests.

AAP has already moved away from Congress. It decided to contest Bihar and Delhi alone. Inside Congress, dissatisfaction is also growing over ticket distribution.

These internal fights may decide the future of the INDIA alliance.

Congress candidates have asked the high command and Rahul Gandhi’s office to campaign in their areas. Sources reveal that his absence delayed clarity within the Grand Alliance.

Former Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot was sent to Bihar to settle disputes. He met RJD leader Lalu Prasad Yadav and later declared Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face of the “India” alliance.
