Path of 'Khela' to 'India' alliance becomes difficult in Bihar, equation of opposition gets disturbed on 88 seats of Bihar-Maharashtra

The path of the Indian alliance has become difficult due to JDU chief Nitish Kumar's political 'game' in Bihar and changing sides. BJP has spoiled the opposition's game in 48 Lok Sabha seats of Maharashtra and 40 of Bihar with its clever strategy. With this, now there is a possibility of parties like Congress, TMC, AAP, and SP included in the alliance getting isolated in the Lok Sabha elections. BJP also wants the opposition parties should contest elections separately so that their votes get dispersed and the path of the BJP becomes easier.

He had left Nitish Kumar's BJP in 2022. After this, Congress was shown the way forward to compete with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP. Before the Lok Sabha elections, BJP was facing the most difficult situation in Bihar and Maharashtra. There are 88 Lok Sabha seats in these two states, out of which NDA had won 80 seats in 2019. Just before the Lok Sabha elections, the BJP has blunted the opposition with a strict strategy. While in Bihar JDU has completely stood with BJP, in Maharashtra Shiv Sena has been divided into two pieces. Now in Bihar, there is a danger of vote division between Congress, RJD and JDU and in Maharashtra, Congress, NCP, Shiv Sena Uddhav and Shiv Sena Shinde are in danger of division. In such a situation, the path of opposition parties now seems to be very difficult.

Congress was hoping to increase seats with its allies in Bihar and Maharashtra. Now in Bihar, JD (U) and its allies are again with BJP, while in Maharashtra too, a large section of Shiv Sena is in NDA. BJP has dashed the hopes of Congress through deep political moves, first in Maharashtra and now in Bihar.

With Nitish putting around 28 parties like AAP, SP, and TMC on the stage along with Congress, it seemed that the India Alliance could unite like-minded voters and give tough competition to the BJP in the Lok Sabha elections. Earlier there was rhetoric in the alliance regarding seat sharing but now by leaving it with Nitish, a wrong message is being sent to the public about the opposition.
