Patna. The issue of seat sharing regarding Lok Sabha elections was resolved in the NDA alliance. But, what will happen in INDI alliance? This question is coming on everyone’s lips in the political corridors of Bihar. In fact, the leader of the opposition party in Bihar, Tejashwi Yadav, while returning from Mumbai to Patna, claimed that the matter of seat sharing will be solved easily. According to sources, an announcement regarding seat sharing will be made within the INDI alliance this week.
Let us tell you that RJD is taking the lead in the matter of seat sharing, hence the seat sharing is going to be largely between Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. This cannot be denied. At the same time, despite winning one seat in the last Lok Sabha elections, there is a situation of hesitation and doubt within the Congress, because the Congress knows that RJD is far ahead of it in terms of seats.
Congress can be ready for so many seats
However, Congress Bihar State President Akhilesh Singh believes that Congress had fielded its candidates on 10 seats in the last Lok Sabha elections, so in such a situation, they should get at least 10 or more seats. However, fearing that things might get worse, Congress leaders do not hesitate to say that Congress is flexible in the matter of seat sharing. If one seat is changed from here to there i.e. Congress, which contested on 10 seats in the last Lok Sabha elections, gets even 9 seats, then it will be ready for this. Because the question is about grand alliance.
Left parties have their own demands
On the other hand, Left parties have also increased their share in the matter of seat sharing. CPI(ML) has indicated to contest elections on 8 seats whereas other Left parties also want three seats. However, the final decision has to be taken by Mallikarjun Kharge and Lalu Prasad Yadav. But, seat sharing should be done as soon as possible. Congress, the largest party of the Grand Alliance, also wants this. The biggest question is about Pashupati Paras and Mukesh Sahni. If Pashupati Kumar Paras joins hands with Rashtriya Janata Dal, then not only the Paras faction of LJP will lose its prestige but the Grand Alliance will also be able to consider itself in a strong and comfortable position. However, nothing can be said clearly regarding this yet.
