On Sunday, leaders from the NDA announced that both Chief Minister <strong>Nitish Kumar\u2019s Janata Dal (United)<\/strong> and the <strong>Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)<\/strong> will contest <strong>101 seats each<\/strong>, while the remaining <strong>41 seats<\/strong> are allocated to smaller allies.<\/p>\n<p>As per the finalized plan, the <strong>Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas)<\/strong>, led by Union Minister <strong>Chirag Paswan<\/strong>, has secured <strong>29 constituencies<\/strong>. Additionally, the <strong>Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM)<\/strong> of <strong>Jitan Ram Manjhi<\/strong> will contest <strong>six seats<\/strong>, along with <strong>Rashtriya Lok Morcha<\/strong> of <strong>Upendra Kushwaha<\/strong>, which also received <strong>six seats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>This seat-sharing marks a significant shift in dynamics, as it is the first time since 2005 when Nitish Kumar first led the NDA to power that the JD(U) will not contest more seats than the BJP. This decision reflects a growing influence of BJP and a declining standing for JD(U) in the state\u2019s political landscape.<\/p>\n<p>BJP&#8217;s Bihar poll in-charge <strong>Dharmendra Pradhan<\/strong> assured that all partners reached this consensus \u201cin a cordial manner,\u201d affirming, \u201cBihar is ready for another NDA government.\u201d Leaders Chirag Paswan, Upendra Kushwaha, and JD(U) leader <strong>Sanjay Kumar Jha<\/strong> voiced similar sentiments, describing the discussions as \u201camicable and unanimous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite initial concerns regarding seat allocation, Jitan Ram Manjhi expressed satisfaction with the agreement, stating, \u201cWe are satisfied with what we have received\u2026 I will stay with Prime Minister Narendra Modi till my last breath.\u201d This statement reflects a commitment amid challenges within the coalition.<\/p>\n<p>In the previous assembly polls held in 2020, JD(U) contested <strong>115 seats<\/strong> while BJP fielded candidates in <strong>110 seats<\/strong>, with HAM contesting <strong>seven seats<\/strong>. Notably, JD(U) managed to win only <strong>43 seats<\/strong>, whereas BJP achieved a significantly better outcome by winning <strong>74 seats<\/strong>. The results strained the alliance, prompting a brief exit from the NDA by Nitish Kumar.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>Bihar Assembly elections<\/strong> will occur in two phases\u2014on <strong>November 6 and 11<\/strong>, followed by counting on <strong>November 14<\/strong>. Political observers are closely monitoring these developments, as the NDA seeks to retain its grip on Bihar amidst evolving electoral sentiments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NDA confirms seat-sharing with JD(U) and BJP to contest 101 seats each in Bihar Assembly polls, amidst shifting dynamics in state politics.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":5051,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-5052","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-national"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.0 -
