Gayaji. Bihar assembly elections are expected to be held in October-November. On the one hand, NDA is under the leadership of Nitish Kumar in Bihar assembly elections. At the same time, he competes with the grand alliance of the RJD -led opposition. Discussion on seat sharing is still going on in both alliances. Meanwhile, NDA’s associate Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) President and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has tried to pressurize the BJP leadership with the latest statement. Jitan Ram Manjhi has sought at least double seats in the Bihar assembly elections.
Jitan Ram Manjhi while talking to the media in Gayaji, Bihar said that he has been standing like a rock with the NDA. Jitan Ram Manjhi said that he wants Hindustani Awam Morcha to get recognition. For this, either 8 seats will have to be won or 6 percent votes in Bihar assembly elections. Jitan Ram Manjhi further said that his party would get 15 to 20 seats in the Bihar assembly elections. He also said that if this does not happen, then there is an option to fight 100 seats. The new demand of Jitan Ram Manjhi can create new difficulties for the BJP leadership as well as Nitish Kumar.
