Central leadership will announce final seat allocation: Bihar BJP ahead of NDA meeting on seat-sharing

Bihar BJP confirms central leadership will announce final seat allocation as NDA partners meet in Delhi ahead of two-phase assembly elections in November.

"The central leadership will sit together and announce the final seat allocation - Dilip Jaiswal"

New Delhi, October 11

Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal said on Saturday that the Central leadership of the party will "sit together" and announce the "final seat" allocation for the two-phase Bihar assembly polls.

The first phase will take place on November 6, and the second phase will occur on November 11. The counting of votes will take place on November 14.

His remarks came as BJP leaders arrived at the residence of Bihar BJP in-charge Vinod Tawde for the BJP core meeting in New Delhi.

"In Patna, the election committee meeting was held for three consecutive days, and in Patna, we have prepared a panel or list for our current seats where we could not win in 2020. The panel prepared by the Bihar election committee will be discussed in Delhi today. There will be discussions throughout the day, and tomorrow it will be presented before the central election committee... Everything is fine in the NDA... The central leadership will sit together and announce the final seat allocation," Jaiswal told reporters.

LJP (Ram Vilas) MP Veena Devi told ANI that discussions on seat-sharing are underway

"Currently, discussions on seat-sharing are ongoing among the NDA alliance. The talks among the five alliance parties took place in a very positive atmosphere. After this, discussions on candidates will also take place, and then it will be announced which candidates will contest from which assembly constituencies," Devi told ANI on Saturday.

Regarding reports of discontent among alliance partners over seat-sharing in the NDA, she clarified, "This is a false rumour; people are very happy, and we stand together with rock-solid unity. It is certain that the NDA will form the government in Bihar with an overwhelming majority..."

This upcoming electoral contest will be between the NDA, led by the BJP, and Janata Dal (United) (JD(U)), and the INDIA bloc, led by Tejashwi Yadav of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD).

The INDIA bloc also includes the Congress party, the Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) (CPI-ML) led by Deepankar Bhattacharya, the Communist Party of India (CPI), the Communist Party of India (Marxist) (CPM), and Mukesh Sahani's Vikasheel Insaan Party (VIP).

Additionally, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj has also staked claims on all 243 seats of the state.

Why does everything have to go to Delhi for final approval? Shouldn't state leadership have more say in local matters? This centralization sometimes worries me.

NDA alliance looks strong in Bihar. The way they're handling seat-sharing shows maturity. Unlike INDIA bloc which seems confused. Jai Bihar! 🇮🇳

As someone who has lived in Patna for years, I just hope whichever alliance wins focuses on infrastructure and job creation. The city needs proper development.

Three days of meetings in Patna and still Delhi has to decide? This shows lack of trust in state leadership. Hope they consider local ground realities while allocating seats.

Excited for Bihar elections! Hope women's issues get proper attention in manifestos. Education and safety should be top priorities. 🙏

Interesting to see how coalition politics works in Indian states. The coordination between multiple parties in NDA seems quite professional compared to many other democracies.
