The BJP had a chance to criticise the coalition when Congress leader Rahul Gandhi's picture was missing from a Mahagathbandhan banner in Bihar. Tejashwi Yadav, the head of the RJD, was featured prominently on the poster, but Rahul was absent.
BJP spokesperson Shehzad Poonawalla shared a picture of the banner and questioned whether it was an effort to demonstrate Rahul Gandhi's "place." "Combined PC? But only one image "Samman chori"  showed Rahul and the Congress where he belonged? In his writing, Poonawalla made fun of the opposition alliance and Congress.
The phrase "samman chori" (steal of respect) appeared to be a jab at the Congress' claims of "vote chori" against the Bharatiya Janata Party and the Election Commission of India.A few hours later, Poonawalla posted another message claiming that Congress is also being accused of "ticket chori," or ticket theft. Poonawalla's posts seem to raise doubts about the state of the Grand Alliance in Bihar, which includes the Congress and RJD as important allies in addition to other parties.
Therefore, Congress is struggling with more than only "Samman" Respect Chori (Tejaswi's picture was removed from the joint PC poster, and Rahul Gandhi was also removed). Ticket chori accusations are now plaguing the Congress, particularly Rahul Gandhi's crucial team. Previously, Afaq Alam, a congress mla, described how tickets were sold for cash. The BJP spokesperson added in the post, "The same claim was made by the sitting MLA in the RJD as well.
Poonawalla posted another message a few hours later, claiming that Congress is also being accused of "ticket chori," or ticket theft. It appears from Poonawalla's posts that the Grand Alliance in Bihar, which includes the Congress and RJD as important partners, is doing well.
Therefore, Congress is struggling with more than simply "Samman" Respect Chori (removal of Rahul Gandhi and Tejaswi's picture off the joint PC poster). Allegations of ticket chori have now targeted the Congress, particularly Rahul Gandhi's senior team. Afaq Alam, a congress member, has described how seats were sold for cash. The same accusation was made by the sitting MLA in the RJD as well," the BJP spokesperson noted in the post.
In contrast to the National Democratic Alliance, Congress and the RJD have yet to develop a firm seat-sharing strategy to run in the next Bihar assembly elections. The deadline for submitting nominations for Bihar's second round of assembly elections has gone.
The Mahagathbandhan allies, which include the Congress, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), and Left parties like the Communist Party of India (CPI), the CPI (Marxist-Leninist) Liberation, the CPI (Marxist) or CPI(M), and the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP), may engage in "friendly fights" in certain assembly constituencies in Bihar because there is no final seat-sharing formula.
Congress' response on the "relevant issue"
There are no conflicts inside the Grand Alliance, Congress leader Pawan Khera stated on Thursday in response to allegations of a split among the opposition alliance.
"Let the opposition say whatever they want, but never once did Mahagathbandhan and I clash.Does the picture of Tejashwi Yadav on the poster matter? He asked, "Do the young people of Bihar understand this issue at all?" according Indian news agency ANI.
Regarding Prime Minister Narendra Modi's planned October 24 visit to Bihar, Khera remarked, "He can come, but what difference does it make? Bihar would treat some citizens like visitors and expect others to run its government.
