Patna . The strategy of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), the main opposition party of the state in the election of the Bihar Assembly Speaker may have failed, but the RJD does not want to give the ruling party an open ground in the game of politics in any case. The RJD is also working on a separate strategy for the Rajya Sabha. The RJD is considering to field its candidate in the Rajya Sabha by-election. It is a matter of fact that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has announced the name of former Deputy Chief Minister Sushil Kumar Modi as the candidate of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) by the number force in the assembly.
In the Rajya Sabha seat vacated by the death of Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, the BJP has sealed the speculation of Sushil Modi’s name by bringing him into national politics. In view of the number force, Sushil Modi’s election is also being decided. Nomination will be done for this vacant seat by December 3. There will be elections on 14 December.
Sources in the RJD say that the discussion of two names for the Rajya Sabha in the RJD is intensified. The party wants to send party state president Jagdanand Singh and senior leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui. Siddiqui had recently lost the assembly elections. Both leaders are believed to be the trustees of RJD president Lalu Prasad. By the way, sources are also saying that apart from veteran leaders, RJD can also field other leaders to avoid criticism in the event of defeat.
However, the RJD has not opened the cards yet. Look at the strength of the numbers, the NDA has a heavy weight. While the NDA has 125 MLAs, the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan has 110 MLAs. Two days ago, the Grand Alliance also fielded its candidate for the post of Bihar Assembly Speaker, who had to face defeat.
Here, BJP spokesperson Manoj Sharma says, “Sushil Kumar Modi has been an experienced leader. He has served Bihar for a long time. Now the party wants to take his experience to the national level. He said that the opposition should try a million, but He is not going to get anything, his defeat is certain. ”
Here, a RJD leader says that the party is considering the matter. It is noteworthy that after the death of Union Minister Ram Vilas Paswan, there was a demand to send Reena Paswavan, wife of Lok Janshakti Party (LJP) Paswan, to this vacant seat. In this situation, after the LJP’s contesting alone in the Bihar elections, the BJP has decided to send Modi to LJP.
