The JD(U) blames the Congress for the collapse of the INDIA bloc in Bihar, as its leaders were more interested in strengthening their own party rather than the opposition grouping. They accuse a "caucus" within the Congress of conspiring to capture the leadership of the INDIA bloc and proposing Mallikarjun Kharge as the chairperson, which shocked the JD(U). The JD(U) also criticizes the Congress for trying to make a person lacking any quality, likely referring to Rahul Gandhi, the prime minister. They argue that it is the Congress' obduracy that derailed the INDIA bloc, and that the party never accommodates any allies in states where it is strong, unlike regional parties.
