In a strong rebuttal to swirling political speculation, senior Janata Dal (United) leader Sanjay Jha has emphatically declared that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar stands completely united, dismissing any notions of internal discord as the coalition gears up for the crucial 2025 Assembly elections.
The assertion came during an exclusive conversation on India TV's popular political platform, 'Chunav Manch,' where Jha addressed recent rumours about potential friction between alliance partners BJP and JD(U).
"No Truth in Rift Speculation"
"Let me make this absolutely clear - the NDA in Bihar is not just intact but stronger than ever before," Jha stated with conviction. "There is no truth whatsoever in the speculation about any internal differences or conflicts within our alliance."
The senior leader's comments assume significant importance given the high-stakes political environment in Bihar, where the 2025 Assembly polls are being viewed as a critical battleground that could influence national political equations.
Strategic Preparation Underway
Jha revealed that both BJP and JD(U) have already initiated coordinated preparations for the upcoming electoral contest. "Our coordination committees are working in perfect sync, and we have a clear roadmap for the elections," he emphasized.
The JD(U) leader highlighted that the alliance partners are focusing on a development-oriented campaign that will highlight the NDA government's achievements while addressing the concerns of Bihar's diverse electorate.
Countering Opposition Narrative
Political observers note that Jha's strong statement appears designed to counter the opposition's attempts to project the NDA as a fragile coalition. The Mahagathbandhan, comprising RJD and Congress among others, has consistently attempted to highlight perceived cracks in the ruling alliance.
"The opposition's only strategy is to hope for our alliance to weaken, but they will be disappointed," Jha remarked, indicating the NDA's confidence in maintaining its political cohesion.
What This Means for Bihar Politics
The firm denial of any internal rift comes at a crucial juncture when:
- Both parties are in the process of seat-sharing negotiations
- Grassroots workers from both sides are coordinating campaign strategies
- The opposition alliance is attempting to consolidate its position
- Development agenda is taking center stage in political discourse
As Bihar moves closer to the 2025 elections, such strong assertions of unity from senior alliance leaders signal the NDA's determination to present a united front and retain power in the state.
