Rajbhar pushes for bigger role in Bihar, keeps alliance options open

Lucknow, Aug 3 (UNI) With an eye on expanding his political footprint beyond Uttar Pradesh, Suheldev Bharatiya Samaj Party (SBSP) chief and UP minister Om Prakash Rajbhar has stepped up pressure on the BJP over seat-sharing talks ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections.
He stated that if an alliance with the BJP doesn't materialize, the SBSP is open to other possibilities. The party, which is currently aligned with the BJP, has also hinted at the formation of a third front with non-BJP parties to assert its political influence. Rajbhar said, "If there is no alliance with the BJP in Bihar, we will keep all options open."
He said his party is in talks with several smaller political groups, including Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party and Mukesh Sahani's Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP). The SBSP is preparing to contest as many as 156 of Bihar's 243 Assembly seats, depending on how political developments unfold.
