BJP Is Serious On Bihar?
After the alliance of RJD and JD(U), the actual strength of BJP on the ground in the state has taken a sharp dip source says. BJP leadership since then is trying to ally with some regional parties and groups to broaden their base and capture lost ground source says. Upendra Kushwaha, head of the parliamentary board of JD(U) is not happy with the happenings in the party and many time shows his unhappiness on functioning source says. BJP is likely to take advantage of the situation and bring him back into the fold source says. A recent closed-door meeting between the state president of BJP and Upendra Kushwaha is seen in the context source says. The party of Mukesh Sahni and Chirag Paswan faction of RLJP are two other parties to support the BJP source says. The RLJP president and cabinet minister Pashupati Kumar Paras is likely to merge his party with RLJP ( Ramvilas) presented by Chirag Paswan, before the 2024 elections due to pressure and to strengthen the party position source says. The faction of Pashupati Kumar Paras is having five members of parliament out of six won by combined RLJP in 2019; an elections source says. The source says if all these permutations and combinations work it will give a good challenge for the present ruling alliance.
