Battle For Bihar Takes Shape: Dangal For Seats, Power & Prestige
As the NDA finalizes its Bihar seat-sharing formula, the BJP and JD(U) will contest 101 seats each, Chirag Paswan's LJP (RV) 29 seats, and smaller allies 6 seats each. Attention now turns to when the NDA and its allies will release their first list of candidates. With just 21 days to go for the polls, political parties in Bihar-except Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party-are yet to announce their seat allotments, indicating that the campaign will be intensely competitive. Meanwhile, the Mahagatbandhan remains shrouded in mystery and uncertainty. A Delhi court has framed charges against RJD leaders Tejashwi Yadav, Lalu Prasad Yadav, and Rabri Devi, even as RJD leaders hold meetings with allies to finalize seat sharing.
