Bihar Polls Heat Up: NDA Faces Internal Tussles, RJD Fields Shahabuddin's Son

Bihar's election battle is intensifying as internal disputes emerge within the NDA over seat-sharing arrangements. RLM chief Upendra Khushwaha and HAM leader Jitan Ram Manjhi have expressed dissatisfaction with their allocations, prompting high-level meetings in Delhi with Home Minister Amit Shah to resolve the conflicts. Meanwhile, the RJD has announced Osama Shahab, son of the late Mohammad Shahabuddin, as its candidate from the Ragunathpur seat in Sivan, aiming to consolidate its traditional stronghold and minority support. The BJP has strongly criticized the RJD's decision, warning of a "jungle raj" scenario and raising concerns over law and order if the party comes to power.
