In battleground Bihar, the Congress Central Election Committee met today to discuss seat-sharing and candidate selection ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections. Party leaders, including Rahul Gandhi and Mallikarjun Kharge, attended the virtual meeting to deliberate on nearly 75 seats — a move seen as pressure on ally RJD, which has offered Congress only 54. Sources say the CEC is reviewing sitting seats first, with final candidate announcements expected after the Mahagathbandhan finalizes its seat-sharing formula.
