Grand alliance candidates face each other on 13 seats

In fact, before this no joint press conference was held regarding seat distribution in the Grand Alliance. There was a continuous tense situation. For the first time today (Thursday), a joint press conference has been held regarding Bihar elections. The biggest thing is that the candidates of the Grand Alliance are face to face on about 13 seats.

There is a situation of tension in the Grand Alliance, especially between Rashtriya Janata Dal and Congress. In view of this situation, senior Congress observer Ashok Gehlot had also met Lalu-Tejashwi last Wednesday.

Controversy over only Tejashwi’s picture on the poster

On the other hand, there is controversy regarding the poster that has been put up for this press conference because only Tejashwi Yadav’s photo is on it. There is no picture of any leader other than Tejashwi Yadav. It is only a symbol of other allies. On this, BJP leader Amit Malviya wrote on Twitter, “The huge infighting in the Grand Alliance has now become public. First, Rahul Gandhi did not accept Tejashwi as his face, now Tejashwi has made Rahul Gandhi disappear from the poster. This poster itself is an announcement of the breakup of the Grand Alliance.”

MP Pappu Yadav has also expressed objection over the absence of photographs of other leaders on the poster. Pappu Yadav raised the question whether there is any justification without Rahul Gandhi on the poster? Said that there should be photographs of all those who are in the alliance. When there was no picture, the MP said that its message was wrong.

There was a huge uproar at the party headquarters after the meeting of the Central Election Committee (CEC) of the Congress. Women workers raised loud slogans in front of Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. While talking to ABP News, he said that when Rahul Gandhi has promised 33% participation of women in ticket distribution, then why is it not being implemented. Expressing displeasure, women workers said that they have been working hard for the Congress Party for years, but tickets are being given to “dummy candidates”, due to which the real workers are being ignored.

Party workers expressed their displeasure
Speaking to the media, a Congress worker said, ‘It was said that those who will be in the screening committee and whose online application process is completed, they will be given tickets. But some leaders like Krishna Allavaru and Rajesh Ram make women work hard, send them from door to door, and end up cheating. Krishna Allavaru is breaking the promise that Rahul Gandhi had made to give respect to youth and women. We Congress workers will not tolerate this. Bihar will not accept this. You will see the result of this, we will not remain silent.

Rahul Gandhi was not present in the meeting
The meeting of the Central Election Committee (CEC) of Congress regarding Bihar Assembly elections lasted for about three hours. According to sources, the party has formed a sub-committee to select the candidates, whose meeting will be held tomorrow at 9 am. In today’s meeting, Congress discussed 15 to 18 seats, whereas in the last CEC meeting, the final decision was taken on 25 seats. There are still 22 seats left to be discussed. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge was present in the meeting, while Rahul Gandhi and Sonia Gandhi joined through video conferencing as both are not in Delhi. The names of the candidates were considered in the meeting.

Bihar Congress President Rajesh Ram said, “Today we attended the second CEC meeting. Everyone expressed their views openly. We discussed all the seats. In this 2-3 hour meeting, we can say that the candidates were discussed in the areas which are part of the Congress Party.

CWC, the top policy -making unit of Congress in Patna, Bihar, met on Wednesday (24 September). Meanwhile, the seat sharing formula of the Grand Alliance (India alliance) of opposition parties has come out. Lalu Yadav’s party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) can contest 141 seats in 243 seats of the assembly. Congress can get 58 seats. At the same time, 35 seats for CPIML, CPI and CPM possible in the left. Mukesh Sahni’s VIP involved in the Grand Alliance can fight in 15 seats.

A little plus-minus is possible in this formula. If RLJP of Pashupati Paras, Hemant Soren’s JMM comes in the grand alliance, then 2-2 seats can also be given to them.

Sources say that at present, the formula is being discussed between the parties of the Grand Alliance for the assembly elections and as soon as all the parties agreed, it will be formally announced.

Congress’s strike rate was bad

The Congress contested 70 assembly seats in the 2020 elections, but its strike rate was very poor. This is the reason that this time he is getting less seats this time.

RJD fought in 144 seats in 2020 and emerged as the largest party by winning 75 seats. RJD’s strike rate was 52 percent. The Congress got only 19 seats out of 70 seats. The party’s strike rate was 27 percent.

Left will increase seats

CPI (Male) contested 19, CPI 6 and CPI -M 4 seats. The strike rate of the CPI (Male) was the best. He won 12 seats in 19. The CPI and CPI-M got two seats each. That is, the strike rate of the left was 55 percent.

Now RJD is ready to fight four less seats in the assembly elections to be held at the end of this year. At the same time, Congress is demanding up to 65 seats. However, he can eventually get about 58 seats. That is, he will get 17 percent less seats than last time. Only the left figure is increasing compared to last time. He can get 35 seats.

RJD shocks in Lok Sabha elections

However, in the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the condition of RJD was bad. RJD fought on 23 seats and could win only four seats. At the same time, Congress won three seats in 9. The Left fielded candidates for 5 seats and won two seats. This is the reason that now the Congress is claiming more seats in front of RJD in the assembly elections.

Mukesh Sahni’s developing human party (VIP) was in an alliance with BJP in the 2020 election and fought in 11 seats. This time his party is with the Grand Alliance and can get 15 seats. This is the big reason that RJD and Congress are losing seats in the alliance.

The All India Congress Working Committee meeting is going to be held on 24 September in Patna, the capital of Bihar. All preparations have been completed regarding this. Many big leaders including Congress National President Mallikarjun Kharge will attend this meeting. Congress in -charge of Congress Krishna Allavaru said at a press conference in Patna on Monday (September 22, 2025) that it will be a matter of state on the land of Bihar, it will also be a matter of India.

Allavaru said that the most important issues in the country today are unemployment, inflation, increasing crime, sometimes ceasefire, sometimes surrender and atrocities on women. All these issues will be considered in the meeting of the Congress Working Committee. He said that even after 11 years, Prime Minister Modi is not interested in considering all these issues. The public needs to understand why it is so?

‘They feel that by stealing votes…’

He said that the central government is like a student, who does not believe in getting marks in the examination by reading and writing. He is like a student who copies, cheating and tries to pass the exam by leaking the paper. He alleged that the central government ‘stealing’ votes. For this reason, she does not work on public issues. They do not reduce unemployment in Bihar and India, so they feel that they will form a government by ‘stealing votes’.

There will be talk of ‘vote theft’ in the meeting

It is alleged that crime and Gundaraj in Bihar are increasing due to the failure of the police, but it is not being curbed. Sticks are run on asking for a job. There will also be talk of ‘vote theft’ in the working committee meeting. The Congress is raising voice from the road to the House on the issue of public in Bihar. We took out the journey ‘Stop the escape, do the job’. This issue has become a problem of the people of Bihar.

Congress state president Rajesh Ram said that the extended meeting of the Working Committee is going to be held on 24 September. This is a historical decision. This is an important decision. Sadaqat Ashram is a historical site. This land has been a holy land for the British fight.

A strict order has been issued by the Patna High Court regarding the AI ​​(AI) video made about Prime Minister Modi and his mother. The High Court has asked social media to remove this video. Bihar Congress released this video from X handle a few days ago. After the order issued, the video has been removed from X.

Following the court order, JDU spokesman Neeraj Kumar said, “The video that the Congress had put was a social and moral crime. Today, the Hon’ble High Court directed to be removed. This was also a legal offense. It was also a legal offense. It was a legal offense. To take politics to the lower level, as well as to say the constitution threat and insult the late mother of the Prime Minister of the country.

What was in AI video?

Let us know that an AI video was shared on September 10, 2025 from the X handle of Bihar Congress. It was written in this post- “Mother came in Sahab’s dreams, see interesting dialogue.” The video was made with PM Modi and his mother. In the video, PM Modi’s mother narrates to the Prime Minister on many issues of Bihar. There was a lot of ruckus in the political corridor on this video.

Complaint was lodged in Delhi

On one hand, where politics was intensified on this AI video, a complaint was also lodged. Delhi Police had registered an FIR on the official social media handle X of Bihar Congress on September 13, 2025 on Wednesday (September 10, 2025) in the case of sharing AI/Deepfek video on the official social media handle X of Bihar Congress on September 13, 2025. A case was registered under sections 18 (2), 336 (3), 336 (4), 340 (2), 352, 356 (2) and 61 (2) of the Indian Code, 2023.

Asaduddin Owaisi’s party AIMIM wants to contest the Bihar assembly election with the grand alliance, but former Union Minister and Congress Rajya Sabha MP Akhilesh Singh has given a big statement. On Wednesday (September 17, 2025), Akhilesh Singh from ABP News said that Owaisi will not have an entry in the grand alliance. There will be no alliance.

The Congress leader said that there will be no entry into the grand alliance of any party doing communal agenda politics. Owaisi is BJP’s B team. Such parties cannot compromise with RJD-Congress. Owaisi helps BJP through the back door. Owaisi is not a secular leader.

AI said video- should avoid all these

On the other hand, the Patna High Court has ordered that the AI ​​video made about PM Modi and his mother should be removed from the X handle of Bihar Congress. On this, he said that one should not tighten by posting a video on someone’s mother. All these things should be avoided in social political life. Everyone has a mother. The mother should not be brought in the middle. He said that I do not think that this would have been posted from the Congress’s X account.

At the same time, Akhilesh Singh said that Tejashwi Yadav is the Chief Minister’s face of the grand alliance. He will be the Chief Minister if the government is formed. Apart from Tejashwi, there is no Chief Minister’s face of the Grand Alliance. Last time we fought in 70 seats. This time also we are asking 70 seats. How can the Chief Minister face be from our party in 70 seats? Last time, the Chief Minister’s face belonged to the Grand Alliance. This is also this time. RJD is the largest party in the Grand Alliance. There should be no confusion on the face. A formal announcement will also be made soon. There is no screw in the grand alliance by taking seat sharing. This will be decided at the right time.

Owaisi is engaged in creating atmosphere: Ejaz Ahmed

RJD spokesperson Ejaz Ahmed said that Owaisi is only engaged in creating the atmosphere. Why do Owaisi fight only 7-8 seats in their home state and why not fight more seats? In states where secular forces are strong, Owaisi goes to contest elections in wholesale price. On the orders of Patna High Court, he said that there is no need to comment on it. This is the case of Congress, but in Darbhanga, BJP quota minister Jeevesh Mishra beat up a journalist of the most backward society on asking questions. Why is the BJP not saying anything on this?

The Congress met on Tuesday (September 9) for Bihar assembly elections in Delhi for 2025. Since this meeting, there is a fast of discussions in the politics of Bihar and the discussions about the potential colleagues in the politics of Bihar. Meanwhile, Bihar in -charge Krishna Alavaru said many important things during the media interaction. He made it clear that the Congress has nothing to do with the discussions of AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi’s inclusion in the grand alliance.

Krishna Alavaru told that Owaisi has written a letter to Lalu Prasad Yadav for coming to the Grand Alliance. To this, he said, “Congress has no relation in this matter. This letter has been written to Lalu ji, so he will give the same explanation on it.” The Congress leader bluntly said that the Congress is not directly involved in the discussion related to Owaisi’s party.

Today we had an important meeting with the senior leadership of the Congress.

In this meeting, necessary issues like campaign, manifesto, candidate election were discussed and further strategy was prepared for Bihar elections.

Grand Alliance will soon make a formal announcement regarding seat sharing

Krishna Alavaru also commented on Pashupati Kumar Paras’ party and Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM). He said that discussions are going on to include these two parties in the grand alliance and the conversation in this direction is positive. He expressed confidence that very soon the grand alliance will make a formal announcement regarding seat sharing.

All things will be clear about seat sharing by 15 September

On the question asked about seat sharing, the Congress in -charge said that the party has handed over its list to Rahul Gandhi and Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge. He said that there is a detailed discussion in the Coordination Committee on this issue. Alavaru claimed that by September 15, all things about seat sharing would be clear and the grand alliance will contest the election firmly.

He also clarified that the party will not object to all the seats that the Congress gets. Alavaru said, “The atmosphere is positive in the conversation that has taken place so far. The Congress is ready at every level to strengthen the Grand Alliance and there will be no dispute.”

Lalu Yadav will tell the decision on Owaisi’s party

After this statement of Krishna Alavaru, it has become clear that the Congress is in a mood to show flexibility regarding seat sharing within the Grand Alliance. Also, if Owaisi’s party is involved or not, now all the responsibility is on RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav.

Overall, the picture is going to be clear soon regarding the election preparations of the Grand Alliance in Bihar. The signs received by the Congress suggest that the final decision on seat sharing and potential colleagues may be held by September 15, which will take the strategy of the Grand Alliance concrete for the upcoming assembly elections.

All the parties are moving forward under their strategy regarding Bihar assembly elections. Meanwhile, the Congress is busy examining the ticket claimants. A meeting of the screening committee constituted by the All India Congress Committee was held on Wednesday (August 13, 2025) at the Bihar Congress State Office Sadakat Ashram.

1500 people presented their claim on the first day

In this meeting, about 1500 ticket contenders from 19 districts of Bihar submitted their claim before the screening committee.

Please tell that the Congress has given full strength to the assembly elections. This is the reason that MP Rahul Gandhi has visited Bihar six times in the election year so far. They are engaged in strengthening the organization. The Congress will contest elections by staying in the Grand Alliance, but wants to create a distinct identity. In 2020, the Congress fought 70 seats in the Grand Alliance. This time too, 70 seats are demanding. RJD is constantly pressurizing for seats.
