The INDIA bloc has put an end to speculation by naming Tejashwi Yadav, a prominent RJD leader, as its chief ministerial contender for the Bihar assembly polls. This strategic announcement follows extensive internal discussions and is intended to project a unified image of the alliance as the elections draw nearer. The move is seen as a crucial step to overcome internal disputes and present a formidable challenge to opponents. The alliance has also reportedly identified Mukesh Sahni, popularly known as the ‘Son of Mallah,’ for the Deputy CM position, signaling a coordinated leadership strategy. In response, the BJP has questioned the omission of Rahul Gandhi’s image from the INDIA bloc’s campaign materials, suggesting a lack of cohesive messaging. The race for Bihar’s top political seat is intensifying with this latest development.
