Widening rift seen in mahagathbandhan
The rift in the mahagathbandhan (‘grand alliance’) in Bihar widened on Wednesday after the Congress party officially announced the names of candidates for Tarapur and Kusheshwarsthan, which are scheduled to go for a by-election on October 30.
Earlier, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) had announced the names of its candidates for both the seats. The Congress party, which had staked claim to the Kusheshwarsthan (reserved) seat, expressed reservation over the RJD’s “unilateral announcement”. However, RJD leaders said the decision was taken after consulting the top Congress leadership.
