Bihar BJP president Dilip Jaiswal indicated that the NDA may formally announce the seat-sharing arrangement by Saturday evening, either from Patna or Delhi. Jaiswal told PTI, "We haven't announced the seat-sharing formula yet, but some are circulating incorrect numbers on social media, creating confusion. We will announce it by this evening or by 10-11 AM tomorrow."

He also revealed that over six RJD MLAs are likely to join the BJP within the next two days, following recent resignations by RJD legislators Bharat Bind and Sangeeta Kumari, as per a report on The New Indian Express.

Deputy Chief Minister Vijay Kumar Sinha, while leaving for Delhi, described the upcoming meeting as an effort to “build a better government, ensure good governance, and end fraudulent politics,” adding that clarity will emerge once the seat-sharing list is announced.

LJP (Ram Vilas) MP Veena Devi stated that discussions among the five NDA partners have been constructive. She confirmed that candidate discussions will follow seat-sharing talks and dismissed rumors of internal discord. “Everyone is happy, and the NDA stands united. We’re confident of winning with an overwhelming majority,” she said.

BJP MP Pradeep Kumar Singh reiterated that the alliance remains cohesive and all issues have been resolved. Addressing speculation about Paswan, he said, “No one is upset. The NDA is united and ready to contest with full strength. This time, we’ll cross 225 seats.”
