Congress Expresses Doubts Over Lalu Yadav:
Congress Expresses Doubts Over Lalu Yadav, Tensions are reportedly brewing within the Congress party as it grows increasingly suspicious of Lalu Prasad Yadav and the RJD’s political intentions ahead of the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. After a disappointing performance in the Lok Sabha elections, Congress leaders are concerned that a similar situation could unfold if alliance coordination isn’t carefully managed.
Sources indicate that Congress feels sidelined in alliance strategies and fears that decisions made unilaterally by Lalu Yadav could damage the party’s prospects in Bihar. The party is advocating for greater transparency and equal say in seat-sharing talks to ensure a united and effective opposition front.
The cracks in the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) have started to show, with Congress wary of being reduced to a junior partner without strategic weight. Senior Congress leaders believe that without mutual trust and fair collaboration, the alliance risks repeating the Lok Sabha debacle, where coordination failures and lack of ground-level synergy led to losses.
The situation reflects deeper issues within the opposition’s broader strategy, as ego clashes and conflicting interests threaten unity. With the Bihar Assembly elections approaching, whether Congress and RJD can repair trust and present a cohesive front remains a crucial question for the opposition bloc.
