‘Grand Clash’ within the Mahagathbandhan in Bihar MLC Elections! RJD and Congress Face Off for 3 Seats

Political wrangling over seat allocation has intensified within the Mahagathbandhan ahead of the elections for eight Legislative Council seats in Bihar. Following the RJD, the Congress has now announced the names of its five candidates. Notably, Congress and RJD candidates will face each other directly for three of these seats; in other words, parties that are part of the same alliance will now contest against one another for three Legislative Council seats. This raises the question: have the MLC elections created a new challenge regarding seat-sharing within the Mahagathbandhan?
