Pappu Yadav takes a dig, says – ‘Nitish Kumar is finished’
Pappu Yadav, independent MP from Purnia and chief of Jan Adhikar Party, took a dig at NDA's seat-sharing, stating, "Nitish Kumar is finished. After the elections, he will have to come to this side because he won't be able to become Chief Minister there." He further added, "If JDU is dismantled on that side, we will welcome them."
Discussions also intensify on Grand Alliance's seat-sharing
Meanwhile, discussions are also intense regarding seat distribution within the Grand Alliance. According to sources, an official announcement about the allocation of seats within the Grand Alliance could be made soon. Furthermore, a tweet by Pappu Yadav is currently being discussed, in which he wrote, "This is the last night, this is a heavy night." Various speculations are being made in political circles about what he is hinting at with this tweet.
Pappu Yadav clarifies
Reports of dissatisfaction from VIP party leader Mukesh Sahani in Bihar politics are also emerging. It is being said that he is unhappy with the seats allocated to him. However, Pappu Yadav clarified that there is no dissatisfaction within the Grand Alliance. Everything will be resolved through talks. He stated, "We are all together and will contest elections unitedly for the development of Bihar."
Congress assures
Regarding seat-sharing within the Grand Alliance, Congress leader Pawan Khera clarified that "there are no complications. The seat distribution will be announced only after meetings. The BJP might be thinking there are differences, but that is not the case."
Pawan Khera stated that all parties are united, and the BJP's hopes have been dashed. He added, "All of us parties are contesting the elections together. The Grand Alliance's objective is to give Bihar a new direction."
The allocation of 29 seats to LJP chief Chirag Paswan clearly indicates that the NDA has kept the youth vote bank in mind. Chirag had chosen a different path from the NDA in the last election, but this time he has made a comeback.
