Above the board, all leaders of the alliance support each other and talk about togetherness but behind the curtain, they do not support the idea that Congress or its leader come up with prominently source says. Every party is trying to grab as many seats and, wherever possible, leave tough seats for alliance partners, a source says. In this calculation, the leaders do not consider a point to defeat the BJP but to field their candidate to contest and perhaps this dual policy of leaders in some states will give maximum seats to BJP on plater source says. This was visible in Bihar when Pappu Yadav was denied a ticket from Purnia, and RJD hurriedly announced a candidate without consultation with alliance partners, a source says. The Win ability of candidates, was said but never judged, and only to increase the number of candidates was taken into account, a source says. Congress state president perhaps failed to pursue the alliance partners to consider the candidature of congress candidate having great scope and chance to win source says. It was a top leader interference for Tariqe Anwar to give a ticket; otherwise, the close old friend of RJD leadership and ex-MP (Rajya Sabha )Ashraf Ashfak Kareem would have been given a ticket from Katihar source says.
