“One of the architects of this alliance is the Bihar chief minister,” says Congress leader Jairam Ramesh

Congress leader Jairam Ramesh says, “We may have problems at the state level but this alliance has been put together. One of the architects of this alliance is the Bihar chief minister. One of the co-architects of this alliance is the West Bengal chief minister. So they know that this is a national alliance. This is not an alliance in which local issues will take precedence over national issues. National issues will get priority. Our national objective will get priority.”
