Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh) [India], October 21 : Uttar Pradesh Minister and NISHAD Party Chief Sanjay Nishad on Tuesday took a jibe at the opposition's Mahagathbandhan, saying that whatever formula they adopt, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will form the government in Bihar.
Speaking with ANI, Nishad stressed that every party and alliance has its own ideology and system, but the Mahagathbandhan leaders have turned politics into a profession.
"Whatever formula they adopt, the NDA will come to power in Bihar... Every alliance has its own ideology and system. Everyone works according to that, but these people have turned politics into their profession," he stated.
Meanwhile, BJP MP Dinesh Sharma said on Tuesday that the Mahagathbandhan is on the verge of collapse even before it is formed.
He also claimed that the charisma of RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav had faded.
"They (RJD) lack a political agenda. The 'Mahagathbandhan' is on the verge of collapse even before it's formed... Everyone knows that Tejashwi's charisma has faded. Now, the only person who will be successful is Nitish Kumar," Sharma said.
Earlier, on Monday, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) released its list of 143 candidates, effectively concluding prolonged seat-sharing talks within the Mahagathbandhan alliance. However, the alliance suffered a blow as the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM) formally withdrew from the elections.
With this announcement, the shape of the Mahagathbandhan alliance is also clear, with RJD contesting 143, Congress 61, CPI ML 20 and the remaining likely to go to Mukesh Sahani's VIP.
The 2025 Bihar Elections will have the main contest between the National Democratic Alliance and the Mahagathbandhan.
NDA includes the Bharatiya Janata Party, Janata Dal (United), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha.
The Mahagathbandhan led by Rashtriya Janata Dal includes the Congress party, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani's Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).
Additionally, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj has also staked claims on all 243 seats of the state.
Polling in the Bihar 2025 elections is scheduled to take place on November 6 and 11, respectively, while the results will be declared on November 14.
