With just a few days left for the high-stakes Assembly polls in Bihar, the grand Mahagathbandhan alliance on Thursday declared RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav as the chief ministerial face.<\/p>\n

The decision of the Opposition alliance was made official after Congress veteran Ashok Gehlot named Tejashwi as the chief ministerial pick against the NDA at a joint press conference of the Mahagathbandhan allies in Patna.<\/p>\n

Announcing the decision, Gehlot said the Mahagathbandhan had chosen Tejashwi Yadav as its chief ministerial face because he is \u201cyoung” and \u201ccommitted”.<\/p>\n

The former Rajasthan Chief Minister then threw a dare to the BJP and said, \u201cI want to ask Amit Shah\u2026 Our leader is Tejashwi Yadav. Now they should confirm who is their (NDA) chief minister face.”<\/p>\n

Gehlot also announced that Mukesh Sahani, the chief of Vikassheel Insaan Party, is the alliance\u2019s Deputy Chief Minister candidate, but added that more deputies could be announced later.<\/p>\n

The announcement came after several speculations of a rift within the Opposition bloc over seat-sharing were doing the rounds in the political circle.<\/p>\n

The seat-sharing negotiations between the RJD and Congress suffered a roadblock when both parties insisted on contesting certain seats, while the Congress demanded for more seats to contest the polls.<\/p>\n

2025 Bihar Polls<\/h4>\n

The 2025 Bihar elections will be a tough contest between the National Democratic Alliance and the Mahagathbandhan.<\/p>\n

The Mahagathbandhan alliance is led by Rashtriya Janata Dal, includes Congress party, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani\u2019s Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).<\/p>\n

While the NDA includes the Bharatiya Janata Party, Janata Dal (United), Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha.<\/p>\n
