Congress-RJD Bloc Will Be a Flop Show in Bihar Polls: BJP’s Hussain
The upcoming Bihar elections are shaping up to be a significant contest, with the ruling BJP-led NDA government facing a stiff challenge from the opposition Congress-RJD alliance. In a recent interview, BJP leader Shahnawaz Hussain made a bold claim, saying that the Congress-RJD bloc will be a “complete flop show” in the polls.
Hussain’s criticism comes as the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) are gearing up to contest the elections together, with RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav expected to be the chief ministerial candidate. However, Hussain is confident that the alliance will not be able to make any significant impact, thanks to the BJP’s strong leadership and alliance with regional parties.
“We will contest under the leadership of Nitish Kumar, and our alliance is going to cross 200 seats,” Hussain said, exuding confidence about the BJP’s prospects in the polls. When asked about the Congress-RJD alliance, he was scathing in his criticism, saying that it will be a “complete flop show”.
Hussain’s remarks are likely to be music to the ears of the BJP, which has been trying to discredit the Congress-RJD alliance and paint it as a weak and divided entity. The party has been relentless in its criticism of the alliance, claiming that it is a “marriage of convenience” that will not be able to deliver on its promises.
One of the key reasons behind Hussain’s confidence is the perceived weakness of the Congress party in the state. The party has been struggling to regain its footing in Bihar, and its leadership has been facing criticism from within and outside the party. Hussain believes that the Congress party’s lack of a strong leader and its internal divisions will make it difficult for the party to make any significant impact in the polls.
“Congress doesn’t see Tejashwi Yadav as their leader, and Yadav isn’t ready to give 70 seats to Congress,” Hussain said, hinting that the alliance is not as strong as it seems. Yadav, who is the RJD’s national general secretary, has been trying to project himself as the leader of the opposition, but Hussain’s remarks suggest that the Congress party may not be fully on board with his ambitions.
The BJP’s confidence is also boosted by its alliance with regional parties, including the Janata Dal (United) and the Lok Janshakti Party. The party has been working hard to strengthen its ties with these parties, and Hussain believes that this will pay off in the polls.
“Our alliance is strong, and we will work together to ensure that we get the maximum number of seats,” Hussain said. When asked about the Congress-RJD alliance, he was dismissive, saying that it will not be able to put up a strong fight.
The Bihar polls are significant not just for the state, but also for the country as a whole. The outcome of the polls will have a bearing on the national political landscape, and will likely impact the fortunes of the BJP and the Congress party at the Centre.
In conclusion, Hussain’s remarks are a reflection of the BJP’s confidence in its ability to win the Bihar polls. The party is banking on its strong leadership, its alliance with regional parties, and the perceived weakness of the Congress party to cruise to victory.
However, the Congress-RJD alliance is not going to go down without a fight. The party is working hard to strengthen its ties with the RJD, and is hoping to capitalize on the anti-BJP sentiment in the state. The polls are likely to be a closely contested affair, and it remains to be seen whether the BJP’s confidence will be justified or not.
