Congress state president Akhilesh Prasad Singh gave the symbol to Bhagalpur candidate Ajit Sharma.
Congress has 9 seats in the grand alliance for the Lok Sabha elections. In doing so, the party has so far announced the names of three candidates. There was a problem in the Bhagalpur seat. However, the party has put the final stamp on Ajit Sharma’s name from here. Congress tried to break into BJP’s upper caste vote bank through Ajit Sharma.
However, names for 6 seats have not yet been announced. Congress is having trouble finding candidates for these seats. Bihar Congress is notorious as it is heavily involved in Lalu Prasad’s ticket distribution. When the Congress handed over the reins of the country to Akhilesh Prasad Singh, it was said that the Congress made Lalu’s close aide the President of the country.
Interestingly, on the occasion of Shri Krishna Singh’s birth anniversary, Akhilesh Singh called Lalu Prasad to Sadkath Ashram. Here, the RJD supremo said from the stage that he supported Akhilesh by calling Sonia Gandhi from jail and Akhilesh went to the Rajya Sabha. Akhilesh came to seek Rajya Sabha nomination for someone else.
Lalu Prasad came to Sadakat Ashram on the occasion of Shri Krishna Singh’s birthday.
Akhilesh reached the Rajya Sabha again. Lelo and the leftist parties helped with this. Peppu Yadav’s party merged with the Congress, but he did not get the Purnia seat. Purnia seat went to Lalu’s share and he made Bima Bharti the candidate from here. Amidst all this, former Congress state president Anil Sharma, who was angry over the distribution of tickets, resigned. Speaker Asit Nath Tiwari also left the party.
Names for Kishanganj and Katihar have almost been decided
The Congress has so far announced three names for the Lok Sabha elections. Two names in this are Mohd of Kishanganj. Javed and Katihar’s Tariq Anwar were almost certain. Javed saved the honor of the Grand Alliance in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections. Therefore their card has been corrected. Second, no one could stand against Tariq Anwar in the ticket race. Although Asfaq Karim wanted to contest from the RJD quota, Kathihar went to the Congress in the seat division.

The screw was stuck in the seat in Hagalpur
There was a problem in the Bhagalpur seat. Here they talked about Ajit Sharma and Parveen Koshua. A meeting was held in Delhi, where many discussions were held regarding the Bhagalpur seat. According to party sources, former Lok Sabha Speaker Maira Kumar was busy getting a ticket for her son from Patna Sahib, hence Praveen Kushwaha’s claim weakened. Maira Kumar’s husband is a Kushwaha. Due to this, Praveen Kushwaha’s ticket was canceled in Bhagalpur.
Why did Ajit Sharma get the ticket?
Ajit Sharma is strong with silver power. He was the leader of the Congress Legislature Party. Praveen Kushwaha has also been involved in Congress politics since his student days. The NDA has given ticket to JDU Ajay Mandal from Bagalpur. He is the sitting Member of Parliament of JDU. This area is considered OBC, yet the Congress gave a ticket to Ajit Sharma of Bhumihar caste from Bhagalpur.
Congress wants to tap into BJP’s upper caste vote bank. After the name announcement, Ajit Sharma said- I had no doubt about getting the ticket. The public wanted me to contest the Lok Sabha elections. The Congress and Allu Prasad listened to the voice of the public. After that it was announced that I would be a candidate.
Congress has adopted the MP whose ticket was rejected by BJP in Muzaffarpur.
The most interesting thing that happened in Bihar politics on Tuesday was that the BJP MP from Muzaffarpur Ajay Nishad took on a Congress member in Delhi. BJP canceled his ticket and gave ticket to Rajbhushan Chaudhary. Ajay Nishad performed better in 2019. Became MP by defeating Rajbhushan Chaudhary of VIP. It is known that in BJP’s internal poll, Sakhni community as well as other communities were angry with Ajay Nishad. Therefore his ticket was canceled by BJP.
Ajay Nishad joined the Congress.

Manoj Vajpayee’s name is much discussed from West Champaran as well. Kedar Shawat and Brajesh Pandey’s names are also from here. The names of Kanhaiya Kumar Maharajganj, son of Prabhunat Singh, Randhir Singh, Vijay Shankar Dubey and Akhilesh Prasad Singh, son of Akash, are in discussion. Randhir is the favorite of Lalu Prasad.

Congress has no support base in Bihar: Senior Journalist
Senior journalist Santosh Kumar says Congress is a national party, but Congress does not have its support base in Bihar. This is why he had to make an alliance with RJD. Congress has nine seats in the Grand Alliance. Even after a week of distribution of seats, the candidates were decided on only three mandates. Candidates are looking for many seats from outside. At the same time, Lalu Prasad decides on candidates for many seats.
Lalu Prasad asks the names of the Congress candidates. If we take only Maharajjanj, Lalu Prasad wants to give a ticket from here to Prabhunat Singh’s son. Kanhaiya Kumar’s name has also been discussed a lot. Ajit Sharma is contesting in Bhagalpur, but it is a seat claimed by a backward caste. There is an attempt to make Nishad fight against Nishad in Muzaffarpur.
