NDA in Turmoil? JDU MLA Sits on Dharna Outside Nitish Kumar's House Over Ticket Snub

This special report focuses on the escalating tensions within Bihar's ruling NDA coalition over seat-sharing, highlighted by the protest of JDU MLA Gopal Mandal. The legislator from Gopalpur staged a dharna outside Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's residence, reportedly upset after not receiving any communication from the party's top leadership regarding his ticket. According to the bulletin, the core of the issue is that 'a large number of seats of BJP as well as JDU have now been given to Chirag Paswan.' This reallocation of seats to accommodate Chirag Paswan's LJP (Ram Vilas) has created significant uncertainty and discontent among sitting MLAs from both the JDU and the BJP. While the NDA has announced its seat-sharing formula, the delay in naming official candidates has intensified the political theatrics and poses a major challenge for the alliance ahead of the elections.
