Bihar Politics: Tarun Chugh Slams Mahagathbandhan As A 'Loot Alliance'

BJP national general secretary Tarun Chugh launched a fierce attack on the Mahagathbandhan, accusing the opposition alliance of opportunism and corruption ahead of the Bihar elections. Chugh alleged that the coalition is a makeshift grouping formed to grab power, amass wealth, and protect illicit gains rather than serve public interest. He claimed the alliance’s motives range from hunger for office to securing “loot” and land-for-jobs style irregularities, and argued that its leaders include individuals who have exploited public resources for personal benefit. According to Chugh, the NDA has already announced its full slate of candidates while the Mahagathbandhan remains mired in internal disputes and seat-sharing deadlocks, exposing its lack of cohesion. The BJP spokesperson framed the issue as one of moral contrast — portraying NDA as a disciplined electoral machine and the Mahagathbandhan as fractured and self-serving. Opposition leaders have rejected these charges as politically motivated rhetoric intended to deflect from policy debates. As nomination deadlines approach and campaigning intensifies, the exchange underscores the heightened rhetoric and tactical attacks that are shaping Bihar’s volatile pre-election landscape.
