Even after the seat sharing formula has been decided in NDA regarding Bihar elections, everything is not looking well. According to sources, Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Upendra Kushwaha is angry with the Mahua assembly seat going to Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas). This is the reason why BJP leaders came to meet Kushwaha late on Tuesday night.
According to the information, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, Union Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai, Deputy Chief Minister Samrat Chaudhary, Minister Nitin Naveen and senior BJP leader Rituraj Sinha reached Kushwaha’s house at midnight. The meeting of all the leaders with Kushwaha continued till around 4 in the morning. During this period, phone conversations were also held with leaders of allied parties for damage control. However, it is being told that this meeting remained inconclusive.
Upendra Kushwaha BJP leaders did not give any statement while leaving the residence. At the same time, Kushwaha told the journalists – “Nothing is well in NDA.”

Seat sharing was announced in NDA on Sunday
Let us tell you that after several days of brainstorming on Sunday, NDA had announced the seat sharing formula for Bihar assembly elections. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JDU and BJP decided to contest elections on 101 seats each, while Chirag Paswan’s LJP (Ram Vilas) was given 29 seats, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s HAM and Upendra Kushwaha’s RLM were given 6 seats each.
Manjhi and Kushwaha had expressed dissatisfaction on getting 6-6. Jitan Ram Manjhi had demanded 15 seats, while Upendra Kushwaha had claimed 24 seats.
Soon after the announcement of seat sharing, Upendra Kushwaha had issued an emotional message on social media for his party workers and supporters. In this he had said, “I apologize to all of you. The number of seats could not be as per your wish. Food would not have been cooked in many homes today. But there are some circumstances which are not visible.”
