Bihar Election 2025: Infighting between NDA’s ‘strategy’ and grand alliance

News India Live, Digital Desk: Bihar Election 2025: In the politics of Bihar, the excitement regarding the next assembly elections (Bihar Assembly Elections 2025) has intensified. On one hand, while NDA (National Democratic Alliance) is preparing to enter the electoral fray with its ‘Special Strategy’, on the other hand, there are reports of ‘infighting’ in the Mahagathbandhan. It will be interesting to see what new moves Chief Minister Nitish Kumar makes with the NDA and what tussle will arise over seat sharing between the parties of the grand alliance (RJD, Congress, CPI) led by Tejashwi Yadav.

NDA’s ‘Special Strategy’:

The NDA plans to focus specifically on the nine seats it lost in the last elections and strengthen its hold in its strongholds like Supaul. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who recently joined the NDA, will now contest the elections as the face of this alliance. His intention is to strengthen the NDA in the state and give a tough competition to the Grand Alliance.

An atmosphere of ‘infighting’ in the Grand Alliance:

On the other hand, a tussle has started within the Grand Alliance regarding seat distribution. Parties like RJD (Rashtriya Janata Dal), Congress and CPI (Communist Party of India) are trying to win as many seats as possible in their favor. Tejashwi Yadav, who is the most prominent leader of the Grand Alliance, faces a big challenge to bring these parties together and keep them united.

• RJD claims: RJD, being the largest party, would like to retain the majority of seats.
• Congress’s demand: Congress also wants some important seats, especially in areas where it has influence.
• Role of CPI and other parties: Smaller parties also want respectable seats for themselves, which may further complicate seat sharing for the Grand Alliance.

Nitish Kumar’s ‘new trick’:

Nitish Kumar’s joining NDA is being considered a big blow to the Grand Alliance. Now NDA will try to weaken the grand alliance by using the experience and influence of Nitish Kumar. Nitish Kumar will try to capitalize on his demand for ‘special state’ and development agenda of the state.

What will happen next?

The upcoming elections of Bihar are expected to be very interesting. On one hand, NDA will unite and contest the elections under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, while on the other hand, the Grand Alliance will have to unite under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav and fight the NDA. Seat distribution and coordination between parties will play an important role in the success of the grand alliance.

It remains to be seen which alliance succeeds in winning the trust of the public and who forms the next government in Bihar.
