No resentment regarding seats – Chirag Paswan
He further said, “As soon as the discussion is over, the official information will be shared with all of you. But repeatedly alleging against me that Chirag is angry, Chirag is demanding so many seats…Chirag Paswan makes only one demand and that is the demand of making Bihar first and Biharis first. Chirag’s demand is neither about any post, nor about being angry with anyone, nor about seats.” It is noteworthy that Chirag Paswan’s party is a part of NDA. Chirag is a minister at the Centre.
Where is the problem in NDA?
If sources are to be believed, there is a problem of seat sharing in NDA. The reason for this is the demand of Jitan Ram Manjhi and Chirag Paswan. While Manjhi is adamant on 15 seats, JDU and BJP are not ready to give more than 7-8 seats. Regarding Chirag Paswan, sources are saying that he is adamant on 36-40 seats whereas JDU and BJP are not ready to give more than 22.
