New Delhi [India], October 23 (ANI): Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) national spokesperson Shehzad Poonawala on Thursday slammed the opposition Mahagathbandhan in Bihar, saying that it has "no mission or vision".
The boards and posters featuring photos of Bihar Leader of Opposition (LoP) Tejashwi Yadav have been displayed at the venue of the Mahagathbandhan press conference in Patna.
Reacting to this, Poonawala asked whether the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) thinks of Congress MP Rahul Gandhi as a "liability".
He said that Congress saw itself as the "big brother", but it was nowhere to be seen.
"Mahagathbandhan has no mission or vision; there is only division and confusion. Today, the Mahagathbandhan will hold a joint PC, but pictures of only Tejashwi Yadav can be seen at the venue. They have deleted Rahul Gandhi and other leaders from the photos. Does RJD consider Rahul Gandhi a liability? Till yesterday, Pappu Yadav was claiming that Rahul Gandhi is the face of Mahagathbandhan. Till yesterday, Congress was claiming to be the big brother, but now they are nowhere to be seen," Poonawala told ANI.
The 2025 Bihar elections will have the main contest between the National Democratic Alliance and the Mahagathbandhan.
NDA includes the Bharatiya Janata Party, Janata Dal (United), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha.
Mahagathbandhan, led by Rashtriya Janata Dal, includes Congress party, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani's Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).
Additionally, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj has also staked claims on all 243 seats of the state.
The assembly elections will be held in two phases on November 6 and 11. The results will be declared on November 14. (ANI)
