Chirag Paswan-Prashant Kishor Alliance? "Doors Always Open," Say Sources
A Chirag Paswan-Prashant Kishor alliance for next month's Bihar election cannot be ruled out, because 'doors are always open in politics', Lok Janshakti Party sources told NDTV Tuesday.
Talk of Paswan and poll strategist-politician Kishor, making his electoral debut, linking up is the latest 'twist' in prolonged seat-sharing talks between the LJP and Bihar's ruling BJP-JDU bloc.
Paswan - expected to contest from the Shahabad region - reportedly wants 40 of Bihar's 243 Assembly seats, boosted by a 100 per cent strike rate (five contested, five won) in last year's federal election, while the BJP will allot only 25.
