Before the assembly elections to be held in Bihar next month, political rhetoric is increasing. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and Chief Minister face of the opposition Grand Alliance, Tejashwi Yadav on Saturday hit back at the statement of Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) President Chirag Paswan, in which Paswan had alleged that in 2005, his father Ram Vilas Paswan wanted the Chief Minister of Bihar to be a Muslim, but RJD did not support it.

Tejashwi Yadav said, “Whatever Chirag Paswan says or doesn’t say has no importance. The real question is what is his vision?” He also said that Chirag is feeling uncomfortable in the current National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Referring to the dispute between Chirag’s family and NDA, Tejashwi said, “NDA people set Chirag’s family on fire. Chirag is with NDA out of greed for power and is compromising his ideals for this. Therefore, his statements are not considered important.”

Chirag Paswan targeted RJD

Taking aim at RJD, Chirag Paswan said that the party is neither ready to give a Muslim Chief Minister nor Deputy Chief Minister in Bihar. He wrote on Twitter (

In 2005, elections were held twice for 243 seats of Bihar Assembly, because a clear majority was not achieved in the first election held in February. At that time NDA (JDU + BJP) got 92 seats, RJD got 75 seats, LJP got 29 seats and Congress got 10 seats. RJD was not successful in forming the government with Congress and LJP, because LJP had placed the condition of giving support only if the Chief Minister became a Muslim. Since the government could not be formed, re-elections were held at the end of the year, in which the NDA won the majority and formed the government.

My leader in 2005 was my father late. Ram Vilas Paswan ji had even sacrificed his party to make him a Muslim Chief Minister – even then you did not support him.

RJD was not ready to give a Muslim Chief Minister even in 2005, today even in 2025 neither is it ready to give a Muslim Chief Minister, nor…

Rhetoric is making the election atmosphere more heated

The Congress party can present its claim on one of the four Rajya Sabha seats prescribed for the elections to be held in Jammu and Kashmir on 24 October. Senior leader Digvijay Singh is going to start a discussion with the alliance partner National Conference (NC) on this issue in the coming days.

Top Congress leaders have confirmed that former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijay Singh can ask for a seat for the party in the Rajya Sabha election. He said, “He will formally raise the issue with the National Conference.” He further said that Singh can talk to NC President Dr. Farooq Abdullah or Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on this issue.

Digvijay Singh entrusted responsibility

In April this year, the Congress high command entrusted Digvijay Singh to monitor the functioning of the Congress-NC alliance partnership in Jammu and Kashmir and involvement in the discussions related to it. Sources said that Singh has also been instructed to work closely with Jammu and Kashmir in-charge and State Congress Committee (PCC) President Tariq Hamid Karra on these matters. In the upcoming Rajya Sabha elections, the NC-Congress alliance can easily win three of the four seats, while the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) is in a strong position to win the remaining seats. In the present House, the ruling alliance has 53 members, while BJP has 28 members. The non-BJP opposition faction consists of seven MLAs-three of PDP, PC and one each and two independents.

Impact on politics of Jammu and Kashmir

The Rajya Sabha election is not only a matter of four seats, but it will also determine the politics of the coming days. If the alliance of Congress and NC remains strong, then it will also affect the politics of the Center. This is the opportunity for the Congress to strengthen its role in Jammu and Kashmir politics. The BJP would like it to further strengthen its support base in Jammu and Kashmir through its victory in this election.
