Bihar Seat Sharing New Formula: Prior to Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, a big and shocking development has come to light over seat sharing in NDA. After showing solidarity in the Vice Presidential elections, now the BJP has set a new and strict formula for its allies in Bihar. The BJP has made it clear that there will be no concept like ‘Bada Bhai’ and ‘younger brother’ in the alliance, but all allies will be the same. This decision is directly considered a message for Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and his party JDU, who have been playing the role of ‘Big Brother’ in the NDA so far. Will this new stance of BJP change the NDA politics in Bihar completely?
‘Based on strength’ seats will be divided
According to BJP sources, the final decision of seat sharing in the NDA is likely to be done by the end of this month, but the BJP has made it clear to all allies that they will get seats according to their ‘strength and capacity’. BJP will not come under pressure from any party or leader. This simply means that JDU will not get the most seats like last time, but the seat will be divided according to their actual support base.
According to sources, this time partition will also take into account the results of the last Lok Sabha election and the current political circumstances. LJP (Ram Vilas) will get the most seats after BJP and JDU, which performed brilliantly in the Lok Sabha elections. Hum and Ralomo, other major partners of the coalition, will also be given seats according to their strength and strategy.
‘New challenge’ for Nitish Kumar
In Bihar politics, JDU has been contesting the most seats so far. JDU contested 115 seats in the 2020 assembly elections, while BJP contested 110 seats. In this election too, discussions of ‘Big Brother’ started before seat sharing, but this new formula of BJP has put an end to this discussion. This is a big challenge for Nitish Kumar, as he may now have to compromise on fewer seats, which can cause dissatisfaction within his party.
‘Social, political and regional equation’
The BJP has also made it clear that the seat sharing will be on the basis of victory and the pressure of any party or leader will not be accepted. It will take into account social, political, and regional equations as well as opposition strategy. The BJP’s attitude shows that it does not want to take any risk in Bihar this time and is working towards ensuring a complete victory. Now everyone’s eyes are on the announcement of seat sharing to be held later this month, which will be clear whether this new formula of BJP will be able to write a new chapter in Bihar politics.
