While six Janata parties in the northern India are still struggling to emerge as a single party under one flag and one agenda, former RJD leader and MP Rajesh Rajan alias Pappu Yadav has declared that he is going to launch a new political party titled as ‘Jankranthi Adhikar Morcha’ (JKAM) very soon. He expressed full confidence that his party will emerge as third alternative political party in the state. Details about party logo, flag and agenda will be announced soon. Once the party is launched, then it will take a decision whether to contest the upcoming assembly elections alone or to have an alliance with any party.

 

Former Bihar CM Jitanram Manjhi, who was shunted out from JD (U) and lost his CM Post to Nitish Kumar, is also gearing to launch a new political party very soon.

 

Since, Bihar Assembly elections are scheduled between November and December this year, all political leaders in the state are desperately trying to grab that opportunity. The merger of six Janata parties two months ago was also aimed to win the upcoming elections. But, they are unable to formulate their party even after two months, as there is disagreement over who will be the Chief Minister candidate of their party in the assembly elections.

 

Although, the Congress party doesn’t have any much expectations on these elections it is carefully watching the political situation before making its move. It is trying to strike a deal with the merged Janata parties or even prepared to join hands with either RJ (D) or with JD (U) parties. BJP is also very hopeful to win the assembly elections because of this prevailing political uncertainty in the state.
