Bihar’s Mahagathbandhan: Will Seat Sharing Unite or Divide the Opposition?

The opposition alliance in Bihar, known as the Mahagathbandhan, recently wrapped up a successful Voter Rights Yatra, injecting new energy into their campaign. But the real challenge lies ahead: figuring out who gets to run in which constituency.

Seat Sharing: A Critical Test for the Alliance

While the Yatra demonstrated a united front, the complex negotiations around seat allocation will truly reveal the strength of the Mahagathbandhan. Can the different parties put aside individual ambitions for the greater good of defeating the ruling party?

From Momentum to Discord?

The excitement generated by the Voter Rights Yatra could quickly dissipate if the alliance fails to reach a fair and acceptable seat-sharing agreement. A smooth process could propel the Mahagathbandhan forward, while infighting could fracture the coalition and hand victory to their rivals.
