CPI-ML Backs Tejashwi Yadav as Mahagathbandhan’s CM Face in Bihar
The Communist Party of India-Marxist Leninist (CPI-ML) has announced its support for RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance) for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections. The decision was made by CPI-ML General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya, who emphasized that Tejashwi’s candidature is already declared for the people, making it clear that there is no difference between a declared and undeclared candidate.
The CPI-ML’s decision to back Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan comes as a significant development in the political landscape of Bihar. Tejashwi Yadav, the son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav, has been a key figure in the party and has been instrumental in leading the opposition against the ruling NDA (National Democratic Alliance) government in the state.
The Mahagathbandhan, which comprises the RJD, the CPI-ML, and other smaller parties, has been making efforts to unite opposition forces to take on the NDA in the upcoming assembly elections. The alliance has been facing challenges in its efforts to present a united face, with some parties expressing reservations about Tejashwi Yadav’s candidature as the chief ministerial face.
However, the CPI-ML’s decision to back Tejashwi Yadav has given a significant boost to the Mahagathbandhan’s efforts. The party’s General Secretary, Dipankar Bhattacharya, said in an interview that Tejashwi Yadav will be the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan if the alliance wins the assembly elections. When asked if Tejashwi’s candidature would be declared before the assembly elections, Bhattacharya responded, “He (Tejashwi) is declared for the people. There is no difference between declared and undeclared.”
The CPI-ML’s decision to back Tejashwi Yadav is seen as a significant development in the context of the Bihar assembly elections. The RJD leader has been a popular figure in the state, especially among the youth and the marginalized sections of society. His candidature as the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan is likely to give a boost to the alliance’s prospects in the elections.
The NDA government in Bihar, led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has been facing criticism for its handling of various issues, including the economy, law and order, and social justice. The Mahagathbandhan has been capitalizing on these issues, promising a change in governance and a more inclusive and equitable society.
The CPI-ML’s decision to back Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan is seen as a strategic move to consolidate the alliance’s position in the state. The party has been a key player in the Mahagathbandhan, and its support for Tejashwi Yadav is likely to give a boost to the alliance’s prospects in the elections.
The decision is also seen as a blow to the NDA government, which has been trying to present a united face in the elections. The NDA government has been facing internal conflicts, with some parties expressing dissatisfaction with the leadership of Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. The CPI-ML’s decision to back Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan is likely to add to the NDA government’s woes and create further divisions within the alliance.
In conclusion, the CPI-ML’s decision to back Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face of the Mahagathbandhan is a significant development in the context of the Bihar assembly elections. The decision is likely to give a boost to the alliance’s prospects in the elections and create further divisions within the NDA government. The outcome of the elections will depend on various factors, including the performance of the candidates, the campaign strategies of the parties, and the mood of the voters.
