Patna, Oct 23: The Mahagathbandhan in Bihar has formally named RJD leader and former Deputy Chief Minister Tejashwi Yadav as its candidate for the Chief Minister’s post, with Mukesh Sahani designated as the alliance’s Deputy CM face ahead of the November 6 Assembly elections.

The announcement showcased a united front among the alliance partners, countering earlier speculation of internal confusion.

Senior Congress leaders emphasized the importance of knowing the CM face well in advance, pointing out inconsistencies in leadership announcements in other states like Maharashtra, where the ruling alliance contested under one leadership but eventually chose a different Chief Minister.
