Wagenknecht eyes political comeback as Bihar minister sparks outrage with liquor remarks
Sahra Wagenknecht, a prominent figure in German politics, is attempting to re-enter mainstream politics. The former leader of the Left Party and founder of the Sahra Wagenknecht Alliance (BSW) has been meeting with party leadership and sharing updates on social media. Meanwhile, a Bihar minister's controversial remarks about liquor availability in the state have caused a stir.
Wagenknecht's efforts to return to broader political engagement come after she stepped down from her party leadership in January 2024 to form the BSW. Her meetings with the central leadership and social media activity suggest a potential comeback to mainstream politics.
In Bihar, a minister's statement during the state elections claimed that while liquor is officially banned, it can be obtained by contacting mafia members. The remark, which he later deleted and attempted to amend, drew criticism from his own party colleagues. The minister's comments also caused concern among other party members, with a video conference held by a central functionary of the BJP adding to the tension.
In another development, a Congress politician who defected to the BJP has expressed dissatisfaction. His supporters, who followed him to the new party, have been overlooked in the appointment of party office-bearers, both at the state and district levels. The BJP, however, has not given much importance to the leader's supporters.
Wagenknecht's political maneuvers and the Bihar minister's controversial statement have added intrigue to the German and Indian political landscapes, respectively. While Wagenknecht's return to mainstream politics could reshape German politics, the Bihar minister's remarks and their fallout highlight the complexities of state-level politics in the United States.
