Seat talks still on, Cong allots party symbol to 10
Hindustan Times Gurugram
|October 16, 2025
Even as the Grand Alliance was yet to reach a consensus on seat sharing, the Congress on Wednesday distributed official party symbols to at least ten prospective candidates for the Bihar assembly elections.
The development came on a day when Rashtriya Janata Dal’s Tejashwi Yadav filed his nomination from the Raghopur assembly constituency.
The opposition alliance looked in a complete disarray even as several Congress and RJD leaders rejected speculation dissension in the coalition.
Although the Congress has not yet come out with a formal list of candidates, several aspirants stormed the Patna airport late in the evening, to heckle state party president Rajesh Kumar and legislative party leader Shakeel Ahmed Khan, accusing them of having “put up tickets for sale”.
While the Bharatiya Janata Party announced its candidates on all 101 seats on Wednesday, JD(U) also came up with its first list of 57 candidates.
