Amidst the ongoing stir regarding grand alliance seat sharing in Bihar, Congress is reported to have got an offer of about 60 seats. According to Congress sources, seat sharing between Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress is almost complete, only on 2-3 seats the claims of both the parties remain intact, due to which final talks have not been held.
At the same time, even before the official announcement of seat sharing, RJD has started giving symbols to its candidates in Patna. It is being said that the official announcement is likely to be made tomorrow i.e. on October 14.
RJD supremo Lalu Prasad Yadav has started the work of giving symbols to the candidates in Patna.

The dispute between Congress and RJD is almost over
According to Congress sources, Congress will get 60 seats in the grand alliance. There is no major dispute on seat sharing between Congress and RJD. Barring only two-three seats, an agreement has almost been reached between the two parties. However, confusion still persists regarding seat distribution among other parties including VIP (Vikassheel Insaan Party).
‘Will announce very soon…’
Mukesh Sahni has also reached Patna today. Talking about seat sharing, he said, “Everything is good. Very soon we will announce. If not tomorrow, then the next day we will announce. The alliance is very strong.” Bihar Will form government. There is no resentment, the health of the alliance is healthy now. We have come with the doctor only.
Trouble over seat distribution in NDA…
At the same time, if we talk about the second largest camp, then the matter of seat sharing in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for the Bihar Assembly elections has become more complicated due to the claim of Chirag Paswan led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas). According to information received from sources, a deadlock has arisen due to Chirag Paswan’s claim on some sittings and important seats of Janata Dal United (JDU). It is being said that these seats are traditional seats of JDU.
Which NDA seats are in trouble?
- Rajgir is the sitting seat of JDU, but LJP (R) is adamant on including it in its account, due to which the matter is stuck.
- Sonbarsa seat is even more sensitive for JDU, because currently Minister Ratnesh Saada is the MLA on this seat, and JDU has also issued him the symbol. JDU is not ready to give this seat to Chirag.
- JDU also does not want to give Morwa seat to Chirag Paswan, whereas in the 2020 elections, JDU had lost this seat by about 11,000 votes.
- Tarapur is a won seat, which it had won both in 2020 and in the subsequent by-elections. JDU is not ready to leave even this sitting seat for LJP(R).
