Both NDA and INDIA bloc in doldrums over CM face

The New Indian Express

|

October 19, 2025

EVEN after the close of nominations for the first phase of polling for 121 Bihar assembly constituencies on November 6, neither the ruling NDA nor the Opposition INDIA bloc has clearly stated who will lead the state if elected, leaving voters and observers in a state of speculation.

- RAJESH KUMAR THAKUR @New Delhi

The RJD, Bihar's principal opposition party of which the Congress is an ally, is projecting Tejashwi Yadav as the most suitable face for the CM post.

The RJD claims that Tejashwi will usher in a new era of 'vikas' (development) in Bihar, countering the NDA's charge that the RJD's 'jungle raj' had pushed the state into economic chaos and misgovernance.

RJD's projection of Tejashwi as CM candidate lacks unanimous support within alliance.

The Congress has refraining from directly endorsing Tejashwi, which has led to disgruntlement within the RJD.
