NDA Seals Bihar Deal: BJP, JDU to Contest 101 Seats Each, Chirag Paswan's LJP Gets 29

This special report unpacks the National Democratic Alliance's seat-sharing pact for the Bihar Assembly elections. The deal marks a significant power shift, with the BJP and JDU contesting an equal number of 101 seats for the first time, while Chirag Paswan's LJP(RV) has secured 29 seats, and allies HAM and RLM have been given six each. An opposition leader commented, ‘Jo baat lagatar se tejaswi Ji kah rahe the...Ki BJP JDU ko samapt kar degi...toh AB wo drishya toh dikh raha hai’ (What Tejashwi ji was saying, that BJP will finish JDU, is now becoming visible). The report also delves into the disarray within the Mahagathbandhan, which is yet to finalise its seat allocation amidst internal disagreements over leadership and seat numbers.
