Mahagathbandhan Cracks? RJD Fields Own Candidates On Key Congress Seats In Bihar

This special report focuses on the escalating seat-sharing conflict within Bihar's Mahagathbandhan alliance, specifically between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress. The report details the RJD's move to field its own candidates like Ajay Khushwaha in Vaishali, Shivani Shukla in Lalganj, and Rishi Mishra in Jale, on seats that were points of contention with the Congress. According to the report, the RJD 'had actually left the Jale seat for the Congress, but now fielded its own candidate indicating that all is obviously not well as far as these agreements moving forward is concerned'. This has triggered a crisis within the opposition alliance just as nomination deadlines approach, with both parties now seemingly on a collision course over multiple constituencies.
