Bihar Assembly Election 2025: The excitement surrounding the Bihar Assembly elections is now at its peak. Despite the sound of the war cry, seat-sharing remains a major issue between the NDA and the Grand Alliance. The seat-sharing arrangement within the Grand Alliance remains a matter of considerable suspense. Meanwhile, the CP(ML) has released its list of candidates. While announcing the candidates, the CP(ML) stated that it does not want to delay.
Most importantly, the party has announced its candidates for seats previously eyed by the Congress and RJD. The CPI(ML) has also re-nominated its sitting MLAs, signalling unity within the organisation. Previously, the BJP released its first list of candidates, leaving the NDA in a state of confusion.
Tug-of-war continues within the Grand Alliance.
Tug-of-war continues within the Grand Alliance over seat-sharing for the Bihar Assembly elections. The demands of Vikassheel Insaan Party chief Mukesh Sahni and the Congress have created a deadlock within the Grand Alliance. Congress wants 65 seats for itself, while the Vikassheel Insaan Party is adamant on 35 seats. RJD is unwilling to give Congress 55 seats, and Vikassheel Insaan Party no more than 20 seats.
Mukesh Sahni has even declared himself the candidate for Deputy CM. The CPI(ML) has nominated Madan Singh Chandravanshi for the Tarari assembly seat. Agiaon has nominated Shiv Prakash Ranjan. Kayamuddin Ansari has been nominated for Ara, Ajit Kumar Kushwaha for Dumraon, Mahanand Singh for Arwal, and Arun Singh for Karakat.
