Seat-sharing woes may continue to plague the INDIA bloc in Bihar for some time, with RJD president Lalu Prasad, along with son and heir apparent Tejashwi Yadav, leaving for Delhi today.
The party, which recently “authorised” Mr. Prasad to take a call on seat distribution and candidate selection, enjoys an overbearing presence in the “Mahagathbandhan”, the name by which the RJD, Congress and Left combine was known in Bihar until a nationwide alliance was formed with the catchy acronym.
When the father-son duo, accompanied by Mr. Prasad’s wife Rabri Devi, a former Chief Minister, left their residence, cries of despair emanated from aspirants who were hopeful of an audience with their benefactors.
Security personnel had a tough time chasing them away from 10, Circular Road, the bungalow allotted to Rabri Devi, right across the street from the Chief Minister’s residence.
