Seat sharing has been announced just before the Bihar Assembly elections. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal United and Bharatiya Janata Party will contest elections on 101-101 seats. Both are on equal footing. Whereas Chirag Paswan’s LJP Ram Vilas has got 29 seats. Similarly, seats of other allies of NDA have also been decided. The important thing is that Nitish’s party is no longer in the role of elder brother. JDU and BJP are on equal footing. If sources are to be believed, Chirag is also happy after the partition, but there is resentment among Jitanram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha.

Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader Samrat Chaudhary said after the division, ,Seats have been compromised, NDA is completely comfortable Yes, now we will soon decide who will get the ticket from where., Whereas Vijay Sinha said, NDA alliance will be completely successful, our government will be formed with an overwhelming majority. Manjhi ji (Jitan Ram Manjhi) is also satisfied, he has said, we are together.,

What did Jitan Ram Manjhi say on seat sharing?

When NDA’s two smaller allies, Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) led by Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLMO) led by Rajya Sabha member Upendra Kushwaha got six seats each, both the parties expressed dissatisfaction with the seat sharing formula. Manjhi said, ,We have accepted the decision taken from above. But we have been underestimated by giving only six seats. This will impact NDA in the elections.,

Upendra Kushwaha also expressed dissatisfaction

While addressing the party workers on ‘X’ late night after the announcement of seat sharing, Kushwaha wrote, “Dear friends, I apologize to all of you. The number of seats we have got is not as per your expectation. I understand that this decision will hurt those colleagues who had expected to become candidates from our party.

Dear friends/colleagues,

I apologize to all of you. The number of seats could not be as per your wish. I understand that this decision will sadden the hearts of thousands and lakhs of people, including those who aspire to be candidates of their party. Today food will not be cooked in many homes. But all of you…

Let us inform that on Sunday, NDA had announced seat sharing for the elections of 243-member assembly, under which Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s Janata Dal United (JDU) and Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will contest on 101-101 seats, while the remaining seats will be given to smaller constituent parties. Union Minister Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will field candidates on 29 seats.

The Congress Working Committee meeting is being held today (Wednesday) in the capital Patna. Prior to Bihar elections (2025), this historic meeting is being held in Sadaqat Ashram in Patna. In the midst of this meeting, what can be the seat sharing formula in the grand alliance, it has come out of the sources. According to 2020, RJD, Left and VIP are not damaged but Congress may have a big loss.

Congress can get 52 seats in this election

If sources are to be believed, RJD can contest the most 140 seats. At the same time, Congress can get 52 seats. The Left can get 35 (it includes CPIML, CPI and CPM) and VIP can get 15 seats. There is a possibility of a little up and down in this formula, if the Pashupati Paras party comes into the RLJP and JMM Grand Alliance, then they can be given 2-2 seats.

On the said formula, talks are being held between the parties of the Grand Alliance. A formal announcement can be made as soon as all the parties agreed. Everything will be done this time on the basis of the formula of seat sharing during the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. In 2024, out of 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar, RJD 23 and Congress contested nine seats. At the same time, Left parties got five seats (CPIML three, CPM one, CPI one). VIP got three seats.

Talking about the 2020 assembly elections, RJD fought on 144 in the Grand Alliance. Congress fought in 70 seats. At the same time, left parties contested 29 seats. In left parties, CPM was given four seats, CPI six and CPI Male was given 19 seats.

Congress could not perform better in 2020

Please tell that in the 2020 assembly elections, Congress was given 70 seats. However, the party’s candidates did not perform brilliantly and lost most seats. The Congress won only 19 seats. Many times Lalu Yadav has also said that whether the Congress should be given more seats to lose more seats? On the other hand, it will be seen whether the Congress believes in less seats or puts some more pressure to increase.

Bihar congress meeting: The Congress meeting, which started on Sunday (June 15, 2025) for the 2025 Bihar assembly elections, lasted for about four hours. Election preparations have been discussed in this meeting. The strategy for the election has been churned. It has been decided that the promotion of ‘My-Bain Mann Yojana’ will be intensified. Congress leaders will tell people from village to village that we will start this scheme if the grand alliance government is formed and will give 2500 rupees to poor women every month.

Legislators and leaders have been instructed to register more and more women for this scheme. In the meeting, MLAs and Legislative Councilors told their problems. He was discussed. Apart from this, there has been a conversation on the booth level to be coordinated with allies. Talks have been held on how to strengthen the Grand Alliance.

Please tell that the Congress has given full strength to the assembly elections. This is the reason that MP Rahul Gandhi has visited Bihar six times in the election year so far. They are engaged in strengthening the organization. The Congress will contest elections by staying in the Grand Alliance, but wants to create a distinct identity. In 2020, the Congress fought 70 seats in the Grand Alliance. This time too, 70 seats are demanding. RJD is constantly pressurizing for seats.
