NEW DELHI - India’s Congress party is struggling to forge an opposition alliance to fight a looming election having been rebuffed in the biggest state, Uttar Pradesh, regional party officials say, improving Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s chances of a second term.
Congress chief Rahul Gandhi has been seeking an grand alliance with smaller regional parties for months to prevent a split that would make it easier for Modi’s Hindu nationalist Bharatiya Janata Party to come out on top. Her Bahujan Samaj Party, which possesses a large vote bank in the state, has struck a deal to put up joint candidates with another regional party representing Muslims as well as other lower Hindu castes, she said in a tweet, predicting her alliance would win a majority of the parliamentary seats in Uttar Pradesh.
“In Bihar, this is an alliance to save the constitution, if we are not together, we will lose,” said Manoj Jha, leader of the Rashtriya Janata Dal, a party that has helped put together the alliance.
