With the Bihar election just a few weeks away, the NDA have been on a surge to decide the seat-sharing ratio. Ahead of the upcoming Assembly elections, Bihar Minister Shravan Kumar on Monday said the leaders of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) will soon finalise the seat sharing through discussions.
While speaking to the media, Kumar asserted that "the leaders of the NDA alliance will find a solution to everything through discussions. Every person of a party keeps forward its views," as cited by ANI.
Meanwhile, Congress leader Sachin Pilot, while expressing his optimism about the upcoming Bihar elections, announced that the seat-sharing details within the Mahagathbandhan would be revealed soon.
Speaking with the media, Sachin Pilot expressed confidence in the INDIA bloc's prospects, emphasising that the public's desire for change is palpable, driven by issues such as unemployment, poverty, and migration. Pilot asserted, "The public has made up their mind, and there will be a change in Bihar... Our alliance is getting a lot of support on the ground... Our alliance will win elections with a big margin... We will announce the seat sharing in a day or two," as per ANI.
The alliance is set to contest against the National Democratic Alliance, comprising the BJP, JD(U), LJP (RV), HAM, and others. The Mahagathbandhan comprises the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), Congress, Vikassheel Insaan Party, and other left parties, including the CPI and CPI (ML), in Bihar.
