The aftershocks of Bihar’s assembly elections continue with VIP leader Dr. Sunil Kumar Singh’s resignation, unleashing scathing critiques of internal Mahagathbandhan rifts. As national spokesperson and medical convener, Singh’s exit underscores the alliance’s lack of cohesion that precipitated their loss.
Optimism initially fueled Singh’s VIP entry, envisioning Tejashwi and Sahni as Bihar’s youthful saviors. That illusion shattered over seat-sharing humiliations. ‘Tejashwi’s princely demeanor soured relations; he demeaned Mukesh Sahni relentlessly despite the latter’s unwavering loyalty,’ Singh stated.
From ambitious 60-seat demands to 24 reluctant allotments, RJD’s tactics peaked with candidates against VIP heavyweights. The Nishad voters observed this public shaming, shifting allegiance to NDA. Campaign disarray—no coordinated events, no unified front—further eroded morale.
Singh puzzled over Sahni’s endurance of ‘poisoned chalice’ offers, like the deputy CM bait amid Tejashwi’s cocky assumptions of power. ‘Sahni’s adulation for Lalu outshone even familial praise, yet he faced deceit,’ he observed. This imbalance, coupled with absent dialogue, sealed the alliance’s fate, as discerning voters rejected the farce.
