Seat Share Showdown In Bihar: NDA Tensions, Mahagathbandhan Talks Drag On

With less than 48 hours to go before the nomination deadline, political drama is peaking in Bihar. Within the ruling NDA, cracks are visible as RLM’s Upendra Kushwaha expressed discontent over seat allocation, even meeting Amit Shah to voice concerns. Meanwhile, Nitish Kumar’s JDU and Chirag Paswan’s LJP continue to jostle for influence despite the NDA’s seat deal. On the opposition side, the Mahagathbandhan is still stuck over its seat-sharing formula, with Congress demanding over 60 seats and RJD reluctant to concede. The Left parties await clarity as Tejashwi Yadav files his nomination from Raghopur, signalling the start of a high-stakes campaign. As alliances waver, the Bihar poll battle only gets more intense.
