NDA Seals Seat-Sharing Deal For Bihar Assembly Polls: BJP, JD(U) To Contest 101 Seats Each; Chirag Paswan's LJP(RV) Gets 29

Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Sunday (12 October) announced that the BJP and JD(U) will each contest 101 seats in the upcoming 243-member Bihar Assembly elections as part of the NDA’s finalised seat-sharing plan.

Under the alliance agreement, Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will field candidates on 29 seats, while the Rashtriya Lok Morcha and Hindustani Awam Morcha will contest six seats each.

Pradhan, who is serving as the BJP’s Bihar election in-charge, noted that all NDA partners accepted the distribution amicably, adding that discussions took place in a positive and cooperative environment.

"The NDA allies have completed the distribution of seats in a cordial atmosphere. All workers and leaders of NDA parties warmly welcome this. Bihar is ready and a NDA government will be formed again," Pradhan said in a post on X.

On the opposition front, the INDI alliance—seeking to challenge Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s rule— is yet to announce its seat-sharing deal.

"Everything is well and everything has been done. There will be a press conference tomorrow and everything will be revealed," RJD MLA Bhai Virendra said, India Today reported.
