Bihar Elections: NDA Seat Sharing
Chirag Paswan expressed confidence about the talks, stating, “The discussions are moving in a positive direction and are now in their final stages. We aim to deliberate thoroughly on every detail—be it seats, candidates, or campaign strategies.” He dismissed speculation of internal discord within the NDA, emphasizing, "The news circulating about me based on sources is completely false and baseless. I am not upset with anyone. Seat-sharing issues in the NDA will be finalised soon."

Despite this assurance, the LJP(RV) convened an emergency meeting of senior leaders in Patna on Thursday to finalize its election strategy and address key poll-related issues. The party is reportedly reviewing the allocation of constituencies, voter outreach plans, and potential adjustments to campaign messaging in coordination with the BJP and other NDA allies.
The upcoming Bihar Assembly elections are scheduled to take place in two phases on November 6 and 11, with vote counting set for November 14. NDA leaders are keen to ensure a coordinated campaign to maximize their electoral prospects, particularly in constituencies where competition from the DMK-led and Congress-led alliances is expected to be strong.
