The Story in Brief
Mrityunjay Tiwari, who quit the RJD to join the BJP, has claimed that 15 to 16 of the RJD's 25 MLAs may leave the party. He alleged growing discontent with the leadership and functioning of the party, which he said had been reduced to a party with "neither policy, leadership nor an effective organisation". The claim comes amid repeated BJP assertions that opposition legislators are in touch with the ruling alliance. Tiwari's statement follows a verbal duel between two senior RJD leaders, Bhai Birendra and Shakti Singh Yadav, who have been accusing each other of contributing to the party's poor electoral performance.
The Indian Opinion
The claim by a defector of 15-16 MLAs walking out is being treated as a near-certainty by some. Yet this is just one side: the BJP has been making similar assertions for months without results. The real test is not rhetoric but resignations filed. Until actual MLAs cross the floor, this is noise. The internal RJD feud between Bhai Birendra and Shakti Singh Yadav is more telling. Can the party resolve its own house before the next election, or will it hand ammunition to its rivals?
