NDA Cracks Show: Is the BJP’s Alliance in Trouble?

The National Democratic Alliance (NDA), led by the BJP, is facing growing internal challenges. In Bihar, tensions have erupted over the demand to rename a railway station, pitting the BJP against its ally, the Janata Dal (United). Meanwhile, Chirag Paswan, leader of the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas), has been voicing dissent on issues like caste census and lateral entry, raising questions about his loyalty to the BJP. In Maharashtra, the NCP, led by Ajit Pawar, is expressing discontent following a controversial remark by a Shiv Sena leader, threatening the stability of the ruling coalition. These internal conflicts come at a critical time, as the BJP faces upcoming elections in several states. The party will be keen to resolve these issues to avoid further damage to its electoral prospects.
