Breaking News: JD(U) and RLD Grapple with Internal Rebellions Over Waqf Bill Ahead of Elections | ABP NEWS

Ahead of the upcoming elections, political parties in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh are grappling with internal rebellions sparked by the Waqf Amendment Bill. Bihar’s ruling party, JD(U), led by Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, has been shaken after 10 party leaders resigned in protest of the bill’s passage in Parliament. These leaders, primarily from the Muslim community, were upset by the party’s support for the bill, which they believe undermines the interests of the Muslim community. This has raised questions about the future of JD(U) in Bihar, especially since it has long prided itself on its secular image. In Uttar Pradesh, the RLD is facing similar unrest. Party leader Jayant Chaudhary’s support for the Waqf Amendment Bill has led to discontent within the ranks. Mohammad Zaki, the district secretary of RLD in Hapur, resigned, accusing the party of ignoring issues affecting the Muslim community. With the party's strong base among the Jat and Muslim communities, the move has created a rift that could weaken its influence in western Uttar Pradesh. As elections approach, both JD(U) and RLD face significant challenges. The internal dissent threatens their unity and could potentially affect their electoral prospects. How these parties manage these rebellions will be crucial for their political futures.
