RJD President Lalu Prasad Yadav and his son, Leader of the Opposition Tejashwi Yadav, have left for Delhi, potentially delaying finalization of the INDIA bloc's seat-sharing arrangement for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
Speculation suggests the Yadavs' visit aims to seek intervention from Congress leaders Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge to resolve pending issues in the seat-sharing negotiations.
The delay comes amid internal disagreements within the alliance, including the CPI(ML)'s demand for a larger share of seats, which has yet to be addressed.
