This special report focuses on the internal strife within Bihar's Maha Gathbandhan, where Tejashwi Yadav has been named the Chief Ministerial face and Vikassheel Insaan Party's (VIP) Mukesh Sahni the Deputy CM face for the upcoming polls.

The so-called "friendly fight" has been reduced after a Congress and a VIP candidate withdrew their nominations from the Nawada and Madhubani districts respectively, bringing the number of seats with internal clashes down from 12 to 10.
