Congress will not work as ‘B’ team of RJD in polls, says Bihar in-charge

New Indian Express  

PATNA: At a time when BJP and JD are consolidating their alliance ahead of Bihar assembly elections, all is not well between Congress and RJD. If the statement of newly appointed Congress in-charge of Bihar Krishna Allavaru’s is any indication, seat-sharing among opposition alliance partners will not be an easy task. Krishna Allavaru, who reached Patna on Sunday for the second time within a fortnight, said that Congress will not work as ‘B’ team of people in Bihar. Instead, it will work as ‘A’ team of people, which is a clear signal for its alliance partner, RJD that it would seek a respectable number of seats from it in the upcoming election. In response to a media query, Bihar in-charge said that talks among grand alliance partners for seat-sharing have not started.
