Emergency-like remarks and a strong political pitch by Congress leader Yashvant Kumar have stirred tensions within the opposition alliance in Bihar. In the midst of the ongoing political build-up ahead of the state assembly elections, Kumar slammed the current central government for passing what he called an “unconstitutional bill,” alleging that it allows non-Muslims to control Muslim religious institutions—a move he equated with the imposition of Emergency.Amid these sharp comments, Yashvant Kumar demanded that instead of RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav, Bihar Congress President Rajesh Ram be declared the Chief Ministerial candidate of the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance). He argued that Rajesh Ram represents a stronger and more independent leadership. This unexpected demand has sparked unease among alliance partners, especially the RJD.Meanwhile, Congress is ramping up its organizational strength in the state. Senior leader Kanhaiya Kumar is leading a state-wide yatra to boost outreach, while internal discussions over seat-sharing between Congress and RJD remain contentious. Kumar even accused the Congress of merely riding on RJD’s back for political gains.As the alliance faces internal challenges, the power tussle over leadership and seat allocation could shape the Mahagathbandhan’s performance in the upcoming elections.
