He said the Mahagathbandhan alliance, led by Tejashwi Yadav, is focused on inclusive development and rejecting communal rhetoric. Meanwhile, RLM’s Upendra Kushwaha accused the alliance of misleading voters on the SIR issue and criticized past leadership for neglecting marginalized communities, highlighting deep opposition tensions ahead of the vote.
