Congress may revisit its alliance with the RJD in Bihar

Counter polarisation against Muslim-Yadav domination in the RJD poses a long-term dilemma for the Congress
The humiliating results in the byelection to two Assembly seats in Bihar has made the Congress sit up and rethink its relationship with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) as many leaders in the State feel that the alliance is dragging them down. In both seats, its vote share is far below the victory margins of the winning Janata Dal-United (JD-U). On the other hand, the RJD is ready to forget and forgive, irrespective of the ugly spat.
Bihar State in-charge for Congress, Bhakta Charan Das, told The Hindu that the results and the events preceding it will be analysed before the party takes a call. While admitting that the party’s performance in the bypolls was sub-par, he also palmed off the blame on the RJD. “Lalu Prasad Yadav-ji comments that the Congress and the RJD have reached an understanding, signalling to voters that it’s a friendly match, because of which even the ones who were keen on us decided to desert us,” he said.
