Before the assembly elections in Bihar, the stir regarding seat sharing within the NDA has intensified. A meeting of leaders of JDU, HAM, RLSP and LJPR was held at the residence of BJP President JP Nadda in Delhi, in which seat sharing was discussed. According to sources, a consensus has not yet been reached regarding seats in this meeting. It is being told that JDU and Manjhi’s party are not able to agree on the seats demanded by Chirag. It is being told that JDU leaders have cleared the BJP high command that only they should deal with Chirag, JDU will not deal with him.
JDU is not ready to give its seats to Mehnar, Matihani and Chakai Chirag. Mahnar is the seat of JDU state president Umesh Kushwaha, while Chirag’s party had won in Matihani 2020, but now the MLA has joined JDU. Chakai has independent MLA Sumit Singh, who has the support of JDU.
BJP is not ready to give its Govindganj seat to Chirag. At the same time, Manjhi’s party is not ready to give its Sikandra seat to Chirag. According to sources, Chirag is claiming those seats where his candidates can win, due to which this matter of seats is stuck in NDA. BJP has asked JDU to deal with Chirag itself.
What did RLM chief Upendra Kushwaha say?
RLM chief Upendra Kushwaha has clarified that the claim being made in media reports that a final agreement has been reached on seat sharing within the NDA and some seats are being given to his party is wrong. Upendra Kushwaha said that the talks have not been completely concluded yet and it is continuing. Based on further information given by the BJP leadership, his team is going to Delhi, where talks will be held.
He also said that his party will not publicly reveal how many seats it wants. If necessary, a detailed discussion will be held with the concerned parties.
This decision was taken in LJP meeting
According to sources, the Parliamentary Board has given LJP President Chirag Paswan the authority to take the final decision on seat sharing for the NDA alliance. Currently, discussions are going on on 5-6 seats, which are such where allies also want to field their candidates. At present, there is no possibility of alliance breaking or doubt arising during talks on this issue.
