Patna, Oct 06 (UNI) Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar today announced seat sharing among constituents of NDA for ongoing Bihar Assembly Elections making it clear that JD(U) got 122
and BJP got 121 seats while both the parties would allot seats from their own quota to HAM
and VIP respectively.
Chief Minister Mr Kumar while making announcement on seat sharing among constituents
of NDA in presence of leaders of his party and senior BJP leaders, said that decision on the
issue was taken smoothly after consultation but formal declaration was being made today.
As per seat sharing , JD(U) got 122 seats and would allot 7 seats from its quota to HAM
while BJP got 121 seats and it would spare some seats for VIP with which negotiation of
BJP leaders was on, he added.
Chief Minister said that Alliance of his party with BJP was in existence since long and had
been working together.
It had no meaning for him what others had been saying in recent past, he remarked while
making an oblique reference to LJP president Chirag Paswan who had said that his LJP
would not accept leadership of Chief Minister Mr Kumar in Bihar and at the same time, party
would have complete faith in the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Mr Kumar said that he had good relation with Union Minister and founder president of LJP
Ram Vilas Paswan.
As per seat sharing announced in last Lok Sabha election, JD(U) had supported candidature
of Mr Paswan which made him possible to become Rajya Sabha member, he said adding that
LJP had only two members in Bihar assembly and Mr Paswan would not have reached Rajya
Sabha had his party not supported him.
Chief Minister said that he and Prime Minister Narendra Modi besides other BJP leaders
had actively campaigned for LJP in last Lok Sabha elections.
It was surprising that same LJP leader was making such statements against JD(U), he
pointed out.
