New Delhi: After days of uncertainty, the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Sunday announced the seat-sharing formula for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. According to the announcement made by Bihar BJP in-charge Vinod Tawde, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Janata Dal (United) (JDU) will contest 101 seats each, while the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will contest 29 seats. The Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) and the Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) will contest 6 seats each.
The NDA’s decision to contest the elections together comes after intense discussions between the leaders of the alliance partners.
