There is a strange stir in the politics of Bihar at this time. On one hand, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD)’s ‘Yuvraj’ and Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav is on a tour of Europe these days, while on the other hand, there is a tussle within the party regarding the Bankipur assembly seat of Patna. With the announcement of Bankipur by-election, the claims and mutual tussle between the candidates in the RJD camp has come to the fore, which is no less than a big challenge for the party high command.
The anger increased in Tejashwi’s absence
Tejashwi Yadav’s foreign tour has come at a time when the atmosphere of by-elections in Bihar is heated. Experts believe that in the absence of Tejashwi, the fight for supremacy among the ticket claimants within the party has intensified. Dissatisfaction is clearly visible among local leaders regarding Bankipur seat. According to sources, striking a balance between old party loyalists and new workers is proving to be a difficult task for the RJD leadership.
Bankipur by-election: Big challenge in front of RJD
Winning the Bankipur assembly seat has become a question of credibility for RJD. The seat is already considered to be a tough contest, and now factionalism within the party has further complicated the electoral equations. Local observers say that if this infighting is not resolved in time, then the opposition parties can directly benefit from it. There is a common discussion in social media and political circles whether the party’s decisions will be as effective in the absence of Lalu Prasad Yadav?
What could happen next?
Political analysts believe that as soon as Tejashwi Yadav returns, major changes can be made to calm this wave of rebellion within the party. Bankipur election will not only decide the victory or defeat of the candidates but will also decide how strong is the hold of Tejashwi Yadav in RJD. The next few days are going to be very decisive for the politics of Bihar.
