Knives out in Bihar grand alliance as Tejashwi Yadav's return fuels 2022 seat sharing squabbles

Even before the bruises caused by electoral reverses could heal, regional outfits of the grand alliance have begun squabbling over their future political alignments and the number of seats each of them would be contesting in the next assembly election in Bihar in October 2020.
Instead of mulling over the actual causes of electoral reverses, either jointly or separately, and formulating a coordinated strategy for the next polls, the allies have been singing different tunes indicating their inner contradictions and inconsistencies.
Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Prasad Yadav, who had been in hibernation since the Lok Sabha results were declared on May 23, surfaced on Twitter on Saturday claiming he had been out of action as he was undergoing treatment for a long-delayed ligament and ACL injury.
Senior RJD leader and former Union minister Raghuvansh Prasad Singh had earlier speculated that Tejashwi, a cricket enthusiast, may have gone to England to watch the World Cup, while some others claimed that he might be in New Delhi for a court hearing related to the disproportionate assets case or on some personal work.
