Bihar's BJP President Dilip Jaiswal accused the Mahagathbandhan of "selling tickets to candidates for money" ahead of Bihar assembly polls. He suggested that there is infighting within the Mahagathbandhan parties which includes RJD, Congress and Left parties. Jaiswal further claimed that Congress leader Rahul Gandhi was trying to "snatch" the title "Jan Nayak" from Bihar's ex-CM Karpoori Thakur.
