BJP leader Mukhtar Abbas Naqvi on Tuesday reacted sharply to the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha's (JMM) decision to withdraw from the Bihar Assembly elections, saying the move exposes the weaknesses within the Mahagathbandhan alliance.
Speaking to ANI, Naqvi said, "Mahagathbandhan has been completely exposed and failed; parties are forfeiting ground before the election. Their personal ambitions have overshadowed the alliance's collective goals; such people do eventually meet their ill fate."
Meanwhile, the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha, which earlier announced to contest alone on six seats in the Bihar assembly elections, on Monday withdrew from the polls. The announcement was formally made by senior JMM leader and minister Sudivya Kumar.
"With great regret, JMM is compelled to state that the party will not be participating in this election. The political cunning of the leading party in the Bihar alliance has harmed the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha. It has shattered our aspiration to contest the elections in Bihar," Sudivya Kumar told reporters.
The minister accused the Rashtriya Janata Dal ( RJD) and the Congress of political deceit, and added that the consequences of this will be seen in the future. He clearly stated that the Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has now separated itself from the Bihar Assembly elections.
He further explained that a meeting regarding seat sharing was held on October 7 in Patna. He had attended the meeting with his colleague Vinod Pandey. From October 7 to October 20, the RJD engaged in manipulation, and the Congress supported them in this behaviour.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) released its list of 143 candidates on Monday. 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.
RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav will contest from Raghopur constituency, Lalit Yadav from Darbhanga Rural, and Dilip Singh from Barauli, Ram Vilas Paswan in Pirpainti (SC), and Savitri Devi in Chakai.
Polling in the Bihar 2025 assembly elections is scheduled to take place on November 6 and 11, respectively, while the results will be declared on November 14.
