Bihar Battleground: NDA & Mahagathbandhan in Tense Last-Minute Seat-Sharing Talks

This special report focuses on the high-stakes seat-sharing negotiations in Bihar ahead of the assembly elections, with both the NDA and Mahagathbandhan alliances in the final stages of talks. Key figures include LJP's Chirag Paswan, who has reportedly demanded between 35 to 45 seats, and HAM's Jitan Ram Manjhi, who is firm on his demand for 15 seats. On the tense negotiations, Jitan Ram Manjhi stated, 'Adhyaksh wo hain Adhyaksh wo hain wo kahte hain unki baat ko mann hi padega,' deferring to the decision of the alliance leadership. The talks within the NDA are reportedly nearing a consensus, with an announcement expected shortly. Meanwhile, in the Mahagathbandhan, the Congress party has demanded around 70 seats, and there is strong speculation that the Chief Ministerial candidate will be from the RJD.
