A meeting between Upendra Kushwaha and Chirag Paswan, which lasted an hour, focused on seat distribution and other electoral strategies within the Bihar NDA. The meeting is believed to have been initiated at the behest of the BJP. Kushwaha and Paswan discussed seat-sharing arrangements, the current political landscape in Bihar, and the potential for voter polarization. The meeting also touched upon areas of common interest for the Lok Janshakti Party and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha in the upcoming elections.
During the hour-long meeting, the leaders explored the strengths of their respective parties in various constituencies. This meeting is crucial given that the Lok Janshakti Party and the Rashtriya Lok Morcha were not part of the NDA alliance in the 2020 assembly elections. This time, both parties are expected to have the JDU and BJP cede seats. Therefore, identifying common seats where consensus can be built among the alliance parties is important.
