Bankipur by-election: Huge ruckus in Grand Alliance over ticket distribution! A close fight between RJD and Congress, who will have the upper hand Bankipur By-election: Major rift within the Grand Alliance over seat sharing! A fierce showdown between RJD and Congress—who holds the upper hand?

As the dates of Bankipur assembly by-election of Patna, considered to be the hottest seat of Bihar, are approaching, there has been a tremendous boil in the politics of the state. The internal strife and conflict within the ‘Grand Alliance’ of the opposition camp regarding the candidature for this VIP seat has come out openly on the streets. According to sources, both the parties Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress are presenting their old and strong claims on this seat, due to which reaching a consensus on the seat sharing formula is proving to be a difficult task at the moment.

RJD and Congress have their own solid political arguments on the seat.

The main reason for this dispute is the old vote bank and political influence of both the parties. Congress believes that Bankipur is an urban area and traditionally they have had a good number of supporters here, hence this seat should go to their account only. On the other hand, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) argues that considering the current ground reality and the strong cadre base of the party, only RJD can register victory by giving a tough competition to the ruling coalition. This insistence of both the parties has increased the headache of the high command.

BJP and NDA alliance expected to benefit from internal tussle

This internal dispute and tussle of the Grand Alliance seems to be having a direct impact on the morale of the workers. Political pundits’ analysis is that if an agreement is not reached between RJD and Congress regarding this seat soon, then the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) and BJP can directly benefit from it. Due to this ongoing rift in the opposition camp, there is confusion among the local workers as to which candidate they should go to the ground and start campaigning for.
