As the nomination process for the Bihar Assembly elections 2025 began on Friday, October 10, the Grand Alliance (Mahagathbandhan) is still grappling with an internal tussle over seat-sharing, according to a report by News18 Hindi. The dispute between the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and the Congress, two key constituents of the alliance, has stalled over five seats, sources reportedly said.
The contentious constituencies are Baisi (Purnia), Bahadurganj (Kishanganj), Raniganj (Araria), Kahalgaon (Bhagalpur), and Saharsa. Despite several rounds of negotiations, both parties remain firm on their claims. “Neither side is ready to give up even a single seat," a senior Congress leader was reported as saying, adding that the stalemate may delay the formal announcement of candidates.
