PATNA: At a time when BJP and JD(U) are consolidating their alliance ahead of Bihar assembly elections, all is not well between Congress and RJD. If the statement of newly appointed Congress in-charge of Bihar Krishna Allavaru’s is any indication, seat-sharing among opposition alliance partners will not be an easy task.Krishna Allavaru, who reached Patna on Sunday for the second time within a fortnight, said that Congress will not work as ‘B’ team of people in Bihar. Instead, it will work as ‘A’ team of people, which is a clear signal for its alliance partner, RJD that it would seek a respectable number of seats from it in the upcoming election.In 2020, Congress had contested 70 seats. However, grand old party could secure its win on 19 seats only. Allavaru, however, clarified that the party would primarily focus on strengthening its support base at booth level before the elections to derive good results.In response to a media query, Bihar in-charge said that talks among grand alliance partners for seat-sharing have not started. But one thing is sure that the party would not work as people’s ‘B’ team this time.
