The dates for Bihar Assembly elections have been announced, but till now neither the ruling alliance (NDA) nor the opposition alliance (INDIA) has finalized anything regarding seat sharing. On one hand, Tejashwi Yadav’s RJD is not ready to give more than 55 seats to Congress in the India alliance, while on the other hand, Chirag Paswan in NDA is not happy with the number of seats his party has got.

Where is the disagreement arising in seat sharing of INDIA alliance?

Talking about India alliance, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) wants to give 50 to 55 seats to Congress in seat sharing. Tejashwi Yadav is not ready for more seats than this. Apart from this, like last time, the Left is ready to contest elections on about 25 seats. On behalf of RJD, it was explained to the left parties that compared to the last elections, whether Congress or RJD, both will contest on fewer seats. In such a situation, the left seat is not being reduced.

Here, the biggest problem is with Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) Chief Mukesh Sahni. Mukesh Sahni is adamant on his demand of 35 to 40 seats, whereas RJD is not ready to give more than 20 seats to Mukesh Sahni under any circumstances.

Regarding seat sharing, CPIML General Secretary Dipankar Bhattacharya has said that talks are still going on. Everything will be decided within one to two days. He said that the bigger question than seat sharing is about the future of Bihar. The game that has been played in the name of SIR also needs to be seen. The people of Bihar are also watching the attacks that are taking place on Dalits and tribals across the country.

Where is the problem in NDA’s seat sharing?

According to information received from sources, BJP and JDU believe that Chirag Paswan’s demand is not justified under any circumstances, because giving 36 seats means that BJP and JDU will contest elections on less than 100 seats each. If Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) accepts the demand of 36 to 40 seats as an alliance, then the demands of Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha will also have to be accepted.

Ham party meeting: In Bihar’s capital Patna, the executive meeting of the Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) Party was held on Sunday. In the meeting, the party’s strategy was discussed in view of the upcoming assembly elections.

What did Santosh Suman say after the meeting?

The party plans to deploy strong workers in every assembly constituency, so that a strong hold can be made at the ground level. Our publicity on social media should be more, all these things were discussed in the meeting “How many seats are their party preparing in Bihar assembly elections?

In response to this question, Santosh Suman said, “Our preparation is on all 243 seats in Bihar, as far as the demand for seats is concerned, Jitan Ram Manjhi always encourages his workers. Demand of 35 to 40 seats has come from the workers. Along with this, he also made it clear that the party will work to formulate an election strategy and the final decision on the seats will be done only after consultations.

We claim 35 to 40 seats

Let me tell you that earlier on Saturday, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi had said during the worker conference in the town of Purnia district that 35 to 40 seats for ‘Hum’ were claimed inside the NDA alliance and the party’s first official candidate Rajendra Yadav was declared a candidate from Kasba assembly constituency in Purnia district.

While addressing more than 10,000 party workers at Kalanand High School, ‘Hum’ chief looked quite emotional and excited. He had said that this time we should reach at least 20 of us in the assembly, so that the voice of the public is elevated. We need at least 35 to 40 seats to contest the Bihar assembly elections of 2025. Manjhi reminded the media that Rajendra Yadav contested from the town assembly constituency as an NDA candidate in 2020, making this seat a strong stronghold for the party.
