JDU Vows 'Phir Ek Baar, Nitish Sarkar' After Bihar NDA Seat Sharing Formula Announcement

This special report focuses on the escalating political developments ahead of the Bihar assembly elections, covering the National Democratic Alliance's (NDA) seat-sharing agreement between the Janata Dal (United), BJP, and Lok Jan Shakti Party. According to an analysis in the report, 'Nitish Kumar is not zaruri, not at all zaruri for BJP. But he has become majburi.' The JDU has preemptively declared Nitish Kumar as the Chief Minister face, announcing a potential swearing-in date of November 14th. This comes as the NDA finalises its seat distribution, with the BJP and JDU set to contest 101 seats each, and the LJP (Ram Vilas) getting 29. The discussion also reflects on the 2024 Lok Sabha polls, where Nitish Kumar's alliance was crucial for the BJP to secure 30 out of 40 seats in the state.
