Ruckus over CM face in Congress

In a press conference, Congress MLA Munna Tiwari said, "The decision has already been made, and it has been announced that the INDIA bloc will contest the elections in Bihar with full strength." He further mentioned that there is no room for debate as the official announcement was made in Delhi, where it was declared that Tejashwi Yadav would be the CM face. “So why aren’t they accepting it?” Munna Tiwari added. According to him, they believe that Tejashwi Yadav will be the CM face.

On the other hand, Congress leader Tariq Anwar gave a statement saying that in Bihar, the party with the majority will decide the Chief Minister. He further clarified that the party with the most seats will form the government and, hence, its leader will become the CM. He emphasised that Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) would be contesting more seats, so if they win, their leader will become the CM.

NDA starts election preparations

While there is turmoil in Congress over the CM's face, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) has already started preparing for the elections. On Wednesday (March 26), an NDA leaders’ meeting was held in Delhi, where election preparations were discussed. Two central ministers, Jitan Ram Manjhi and Chirag Paswan, stated that the NDA would contest elections on around 225 seats in Bihar. Chirag Paswan confidently declared that the NDA would win a historic victory. He reiterated that "NDA is a winning combination," and all five alliance parties had proven their mettle in the by-elections, maintaining a 100 per cent strike rate
