Fresh from an electoral defeat in Kurhani Lok Sabha constituency, the Janata Dal wasted no time in launching the party’s national campaign. During JDU’s open session on Sunday in Patna, Party president Lalan Singh said, “In 2018, we managed to get a 5 per cent vote in Nagaland, this time we will target for above six per cent which will make us a national party. I am sure that All 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar would be won by JDU only. In 2024 we would make ‘BJP Mukht Bharat’.”
The defeat in Kurhani, which was Kumar’s first electoral battle against BJP after switching sides and joining alliance with RJD has left the Bihar CM red-faced raising questions about his leadership within the grand alliance.
The loss of face in Kurhani notwithstanding, the party’s national ambitions stays on track.
