Cracks Emerge In Bihar Grand Alliance

Patna: The RJD-led Grand Alliance in Bihar is showing signs of breaking up. The alliance of the RJD, Congress, Hindustani Awami Morcha (HAM), Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) and Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) was formed in Bihar ahead of the Lok Sabha elections. But after its disastrous showing, the alliance partners have started openly speaking out against each other.

The Congress leader in the Assembly, Sadanand Singh, has been stressing that the party must get rid of its political crutches. “The Congress must improve its base and go solo in the Assembly elections,” he said. On Monday, Hindustani Awami Morcha chief Jitan Ram Manhji criticized the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) for not including the Communist Party of India-Marxist (CPI-M) in the Grand Alliance. “The RJD leadership lacks experience. Leaving the CPI-M out was a mistake,” Manjhi said. (IANS)
