There is still no consensus regarding seat sharing in the grand alliance for Bihar Assembly elections 2025. The dispute has escalated to such an extent that now RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav is reaching Delhi, where his meeting with Rahul Gandhi is considered fixed. Despite continuous meetings in Patna, things were not working out, hence now the decision will be taken at Delhi level.
If sources are to be believed, Congress has rejected RJD’s offer of 50 seats and is adamant on contesting on 60 seats. At the same time, Congress has given an ultimatum to RJD in the next 24 hours to take a final decision on seat sharing, otherwise Congress will release the list of its candidates for the first phase.
RJD is preparing to contest elections on 130 to 138 seats and is not ready to come under pressure from any ally. The party says that it has the largest support base in the alliance, hence the distribution of tickets should also be in the same proportion.
RJD not ready to give more than 50 seats to Congress
The biggest controversy has come to light regarding Congress. RJD is not ready to give more than 50 seats to Congress, whereas Congress wants more share on the basis of its old support base and sitting seats. Not only this, Tejashwi Yadav is also eyeing some existing seats of Congress, due to which the tension between the two parties has increased.
On the other hand, RJD’s talks with Pashupati Paras’s party are also stuck. Paras is adamant on the demand of eight seats, but Tejashwi Yadav offered him to merge his party. After this, Paras’s party has called an emergency meeting.
Difficulty regarding equation increased with left parties also
Equations with left parties are also difficult. CPI (ML) is demanding 30 seats, but Tejashwi is not ready to give more than 22. CPI has come up with a list of 24 seats, but RJD is adamant on leaving only seven seats. Similarly, CPM is demanding 10 seats, but Tejashwi is not ready to give more than five seats. Mukesh Saini also wants 30 seats, but RJD has offered him only 18 seats.
No agreement reached between BJP and allies
Here, in the NDA camp too, there is a dilemma over seat sharing. Meetings are going on continuously in Delhi. According to sources, Chirag Paswan is adamant on 29 seats, Upendra Kushwaha on seven seats and Jitan Ram Manjhi is also adamant on his share of seats. No final agreement has been reached between BJP leaders and allies yet.
It is noteworthy that voting for Bihar Assembly elections will be held on 6th and 11th November, while the results will be declared on 14th November. But despite the election date approaching, the equation of seats is still hanging in the balance.
