RJD says 'all is well' in Mahagathbandhan amid seat-sharing talks

RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari affirms Mahagathbandhan unity, promises imminent seat-sharing announcement for Bihar polls

"All is well within the Mahagathbandhan - Mrityunjay Tiwari, RJD Spokesperson"

New Delhi, Oct 8

Amid growing speculation of internal rifts within the Mahagathbandhan over seat-sharing for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tiwari has dismissed concerns, asserting that “all is well” within the alliance and claimed that people have decided to form Tejashwi's government in the state.

Speaking to IANS on Wednesday, Tiwari responded to reports of tension among allies, saying, "All is well within the Mahagathbandhan. The seat-sharing decisions are being finalised, and in a day or two, the seat distribution will be announced officially. Everyone will get due respect, and all parties will have their share."

The Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), which includes the RJD, Congress, and Left parties, is expected to take on the BJP-led NDA in the high-stakes Bihar Assembly elections, scheduled to be held in two phases, on November 6 and 11 -- with results declared on November 14.

On the alliance's chief ministerial face, Tiwari said, "The mood and sentiment of the public hold great significance for us in a democracy. The people have already decided that we will form the Tejashwi government in Bihar," he said.

"Within a day or two, it will be announced officially," he added.

Meanwhile, the RJD has raised serious concerns over recent administrative reshuffles in the state. During a meeting with Bihar's Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) Vinod Singh Gunjiyal on Tuesday, an RJD delegation submitted a memorandum objecting to the transfer of several election-related officials. According to the party, many of these officers had been appointed just 45 days ago and were suddenly shifted under alleged political pressure.

The memorandum accused the state government of attempting to influence the upcoming polls through politically motivated transfers. The RJD urged the Election Commission of India (ECI) to step in and ensure a fair electoral process.

In addition, the INDIA bloc parties, including the RJD, demanded transparency regarding the identification of foreign infiltrators in the final Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of the voter list. They have asked the CEO to disclose how many such entries, if any, were found and removed.

With the countdown to elections underway and the model code of conduct in place, political temperatures in Bihar are rising fast.

The entire election process in Bihar will conclude by November 16.

The concerns about official transfers are valid. Why shift officers just 45 days before elections? This definitely raises questions about fair play. ECI should investigate this properly.

Tejashwi as CM face makes sense given his growing popularity among youth. But Mahagathbandhan needs to sort out their internal equations first. Public wants stability, not last-minute drama 🤔

As someone observing Indian politics, I find it interesting how alliances work here. The "all is well" statement feels like damage control when there's clearly tension. Hope they prioritize public interest over party politics.

Foreign infiltrators in voter list is a serious matter. Transparency is needed from election officials. Every vote counts and must be legitimate. Good that parties are raising this issue.

Respectfully, I think both alliances need to focus more on their vision for Bihar rather than these political games. We need concrete plans for education, healthcare, and infrastructure. That's what really matters to common people like us.
