NDA inches closer to finalising seat-sharing formula for Bihar
Hindustan Times Chandigarh
|October 11, 2025
The National Democratic Alliance (NDA) on Friday was on the verge of sealing a final seat-sharing arrangement in Bihar for the upcoming assembly elections after the major parties successfully convinced holdouts Chirag Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi to temper their seat demands with some minor adjustments likely later.
A formal announcement on the seat sharing formula is likely to be made public at a joint press conference in Patna, even as soon as this weekend.
NDA leaders familiar with developments said that the Janata Dal (United) and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) will be contesting 102 and 101 seats, respectively. Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) is likely to contest on around 25 seats, Jitan Ram Manjhi’s Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular on eight and Upendra Kushwaha’s Rashtriya Lok Samata Party on seven, the leaders added.
Talks were stalled earlier this week after Paswan demanded 35-40 seats, Manjhi 15 seats and Kushwaha 10 seats.
“Consensus has been reached. Numbers would be locked by tonight,” said a NDA leader who was part of the negotiation.

Pvt docs who worked during Covid and died entitled to govt aid: SC
Underlining that “the courage and sacrifice of our doctors remain indelible,” the Supreme Court on Thursday held that even private practitioners who kept their clinics open during the Covid-19 pandemic and later succumbed to the infection must be treated as frontline workers “requisitioned” by the State, and therefore eligible for the ₹50-lakh insurance under the Centre's Pradhan Mantri Garib Kalyan Package (PMGKP).
