The defeat of the Congress party in the three Hindi heartland states gave rise to the claim for the PM position in the alliance. JD(U) party leaders are claiming that Bihar CM will be the best choice because of the recent declaration of a caste-based census and increase in reservation, including 10 % reservation for upper caste based on financial conditions source says. The JD( U) leaders of UP recently visited Patna and requested Nitish Kumar to contest from Phoolpur or Mirzapur in the coming elections to ensure polarisation of Kurmi votes in favour of the alliance source says. The caste census is the best policy against the BJP policy of division of society based on religion and caste, asserted the leaders numbering more than hundreds to Bihar just to convince the CM to come forward, a source says. The leaders of TMC put forward the claim of Mamta didi because she is the only victorious leader against BJP, having tremendous administrative experience and a known face in the country source says. Sanjay Raut wants that mantle to be given to Uddhav Thackeray because he is the only Rashtravadi face source says. The coordination committee meeting of I.N.D.I.A. was on 6th December and perhaps the alliance's leaders have already planned to go for rallies in different areas, soon source says. The bigger meeting is probably slated for the 17th of December source says
