New Delhi: In a seismic political shift, the grand alliance government in Bihar appears to be teetering on the edge of collapse, as Janata Dal (United)’s influential political adviser and spokesperson, K C Tyagi, delivers a scathing indictment.
Tyagi has pointed fingers at a specific segment of the Congress leadership, accusing them of relentless “insults” directed at Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.
The ominous proclamation comes with the revelation that the alliance within the INDIA bloc is crumbling, signaling a profound political upheaval in states like Punjab, West Bengal, and Bihar, as Tyagi starkly laid out the scenario before reporters.
The goal and intentions with which Kumar, the JD(U) president, succeeded in bringing non-Congress parties with the Congress have come unstuck, Tyagi said, asserting that their leader was “misunderstood”.
Kumar never hankered after a position in the alliance but a section of the Congress leadership repeatedly insulted him, he said.
Tyagi said he could not see as to how the INDIA bloc parties could fight the “all-powerful” BJP.
The Bihar chief minister succeeded in bringing together several parties in Patna but the entire process became so limp that the INDIA bloc has had no joint meetings on leadership and agenda even though the Lok Sabha elections are now round the corner.
