This special report unpacks the high-stakes political battle in Bihar, focusing on the leadership question within the NDA and the electoral promises of the Mahagathbandhan, featuring JDU's KC Tyagi and RJD's Mrityunjay Tiwari. ‘In the battlefield of politics…captains are not changed. Captain Nitish Kumar is, was, and will remain,’ states JDU leader KC Tyagi, dismissing speculation about the NDA's chief ministerial face. The debate intensifies as questions are raised over statements by the Prime Minister and Home Minister Amit Shah, which created ambiguity about Nitish Kumar's leadership. The discussion also covers the RJD's defence of Tejashwi Yadav's promise of 10 lakh jobs, a claim Tyagi refutes as an 'unconstitutional' and 'laughable' move made without the Chief Minister's consent. This exchange highlights the deep-seated rivalry and strategic positioning of the two major alliances ahead of the state elections.
