Patna. Former Chief Minister of Bihar Lalu Prasad Yadav gave a direct warning to the Congress included in the INDI alliance and said that if the seats offered are not acceptable then you are free to take your decision. According to sources, RJD has decided to give Samastipur, Sasaram, Patna Sahib, Muzaffarpur, Madhepura and Kishanganj seats to Congress. Whereas Congress is not ready to step back from 9 seats. In such a situation, RJD has clearly told the Congress leaders that if you do not accept these seats, then you are free to contest the elections as per your wish.
The first issue of seat sharing between Congress and RJD was in Aurangabad, Begusarai, Katihar and Purnia. The interesting thing is that wherever Congress applied pressure, Lalu Prasad Yadav fielded his candidate without seat sharing. In which Congress was preparing to field Nikhil Kumar in Aurangabad. Before that, Lalu Yadav made Abhay Kushwaha a candidate on his symbol in Aurangabad. Then Congress wanted Kanhaiya Kumar to contest elections from Begusarai. Before that Lalu Yadav gave this seat to CPI. Awadhesh Kumar Rai is the candidate from CPI here.

Pappu Yadav merged his party to contest elections on Congress ticket. Before that, RJD made Bima Bharti its candidate on Purnia seat also. Congress wants Tariq Anwar to contest from Katihar seat but according to the information, an agreement will soon be reached between RJD and CPI(M). This seat will go to either RJD or CPI(M). In such a situation, Congress has no other option but to take these seats. Otherwise, Congress may have to go it alone in Bihar.
