With an eye on 2024, alliance parties keep a close watch on fractious JD-U #IndiaNEWS #National
<br>These two leaders have shown an interest towards the Bharatiya Janata Party but no one could say that it is a saffron surgical strike on the JD-U.
The JD-U leaders denied any impact of the rebellions on the party but there is a perception in the political corridors of Bihar that Nitish Kumar is losing control over his party JD-U.
At present, the JD-U is part of the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) having seven parties and each one of them is closely observing the developments in the JD-U. The RJD, which is the single largest party in the Bihar Vidhan Sabha and is also a part of the Mahagathbandhan, is also closely monitoring it.
These leaders had won the election due to the voters of the Mahagathbandhan. So, our voters are intact and they will vote for the Mahagathbandhan candidates in the upcoming elections and not because of these leaders. They have left the JD-U for their own political interests. The RJD or the Mahagathbandhan are by and large not affected by it, said Bhai Virendra, RJD MLA from Maner assembly constituency and very close to party leader Tejashwi Yadav.
Shivanand Tiwari, the national vice president of the RJD, said that Upendra Kushwaha has some popularity but Meena Singhs exit would not hurt the JD-U.
If you remember, Upendra Kushwaha was in the Mahagathbandhan in the 2019 Lok Sabha election and managed to bag five Lok Sabha seats for his party, Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP). He contested that election from two seats and lost in both. Even in the Karakat Lok Sabha seat, a Kushwaha candidate Mahabali Singh defeated him. The other three RLSP candidates also lost that election, Tiwari said.
Still, I believe that Upendra Kushwaha is a leader of the Kushwaha (Koiri caste) and he may sway some votes of the Lav-Kush society. The Lok Sabha election will be contested only between two sides the BJP and the Mahagathbandhan. These leaders are bending towards the BJP, Tiwari said.
For the RJD, the M-Y (Muslim-Yadav) equation is no doubt a key factor but its leaders are keenly looking at the voters of other castes as well. Deputy chief minister Tejashwi Yadav advocated making the RJD a party of A to Z Biradari. Tejashwi Yadav through A to Z, wants to give a message that no one should feel afraid of the RJD.
For Tejashwi Yadav and other RJD leaders, keeping the core vote bank of the Muslim community will be the biggest challenge in the Lok Sabha election 2024. In the 2020 assembly election, they saw how AIMIM had deeply hurt the RJD in Seemanchal region. The AIMIM had won 5 assembly seats in that election and played the role of Vote Katwa (vote spoiler) in more than 20 seats.
The BJP however claims that the way crime is increasing in Bihar, Nitish Kumar has lost control over the law and order situation and also his mental balance.
