Let us tell you that Chirag Paswan is demanding more seats in the NDA alliance. Now LJP (R) sources said that their doors are open.
Meanwhile, Chirag's party's googly has increased the troubles of NDA in Bihar. According to sources, Chirag is adamant on 45-54 seats. After this new move of Chirag's LJP (R), now there is sure to be pressure on NDA in Bihar. It is noteworthy that even before the announcement of Bihar Assembly elections, Prashant Kishore had praised Chirag Paswan many times. Now this new move of Chirag's party has heated up the political atmosphere in the state. Even in the 2020 assembly elections, Chirag Paswan separated from the NDA and contested the elections alone and caused huge loss to the NDA's ally JDU.
This time too, Chirag's party has put NDA in trouble by indicating to adopt a different path. Paswan is adamant on five major seats: Govindganj, Brahmapur, Atari, Mahua and Simri Bakhtiyarpur. JDU is also not ready to give up its claim on three of these seats. This time the BJP leadership is trying to maintain the unity of NDA (NDA) by convincing Chirag because the party cannot ignore his hold in the Dalit-youth vote bank. The party is considering the number of seats that Chirag Paswan is bidding for as illogical. BJP is confident that it will rectify the situation.
Chirag's ambition increases NDA's challenges
Chirag's politics is no longer limited to seats only. Posters of their next Chief Minister – Chirag Paswan have been put up on the streets of Patna. The challenge before BJP is that JDU is also talking about playing the role of elder brother, but there is not much problem there. Both the parties are in a mood to divide 101-102 seats. But along with Chirag, there is also a big demand from parties like Jitan Ram Manjhi and Upendra Kushwaha. The most difficult division is currently proving to be with LJP (Ram Vilas). However, after Amit Shah's message, it is believed that Chirag will agree, but the journey between having hope and finding a solution often proves to be long.
Chirag has already said that his party will take a respectable share
However, senior LJP leader and spokesperson Dhirendra Munna said that there has been no discussion on seat sharing yet. On the question that it was coming to light that Chirag Paswan's phone was not reachable, Munna's answer was, the phone may be out of reach, but my leader is in reach. Anyway, Chirag has already said that his party will take a respectable share.
No one should threaten us regarding cabinet post, respectability in Bihar is more important than a chair at the Centre: LJP
Party sources say that we do not need a Rajya Sabha or Legislative Council seat. Chirag Paswan can contest from any seat in Shahabad area. LJPR sources said that our talks are with BJP, not JDU. LJPR sources also say that NDA has to understand that Chirag Paswan is a dynamic face against Tejashwi Yadav. Chirag Paswan has not shifted to his residence on Sunhari Bagh Road, which is the official residence of the ministers.
Our preparations are on all 243 seats: LJPR spokesperson Dhirendra Munna
LJPR sources also say that we do not want anyone to threaten us regarding the cabinet post. Respectable seats in Bihar matter more than a berth at the Centre. LJPR also gave a message to its allies in NDA that we want fair seat sharing and recognition of the growing influence of Chirag Paswan in the politics of Bihar. It is noteworthy that after the announcement of dates for Bihar elections, LJPR spokesperson Dhirendra Munna had claimed that our preparations are on all 243 seats.
