While I support NDA, I wish these discussions happened earlier. The delay creates uncertainty among party workers and voters. Hope they consider winnability over political equations.

Both alliances are talking about seat-sharing, but what about actual issues? Unemployment and migration are real problems in Bihar. Hope the focus shifts to development soon! 💪

Interesting to see how the INDIA bloc is confident about change. The youth in Bihar are definitely looking for better opportunities and employment. Let's see which alliance addresses these concerns better.

NDA has strong partners in Bihar - BJP, JD(U), LJP. If they share seats fairly, they can definitely retain power. But the Mahagathbandhan is also putting up a strong fight this time.

The election dates are announced and still seat-sharing not finalized? This shows lack of planning. Voters deserve better preparation from political parties. 🤔
