We will fight the elections together – Rajesh Kumar

Rajesh Kumar, the new president of Bihar Pradesh Congress, who reached the media after the meeting, said that the way a state of confusion is being created about the alliance in Bihar, there is nothing like that. In the upcoming elections, we will fight the elections together with our allies of the India Alliance. The form of our alliance in Bihar remains intact. Congress indicated that it will contest Bihar elections under the banner of India Alliance.

India Alliance will contest Bihar elections with full strength. Speaking on seat sharing, he said that the process of seat sharing is a part of the alliance, which will be decided with time. It is noteworthy that most of the leaders in the meeting were of the opinion that the alliance should be respectful.

This will be the strategy of Congress

The party will try to avoid mutual differences or discord on seat sharing, while on the other hand the party should not come under any pressure regarding seat sharing, the process of seat sharing should move forward in a respectable manner.
