Expansion
Before the Lok Sabha elections in Bihar, politics continues regarding sheet sharing in the Grand Alliance. CM Nitish Kumar’s party Janata Dal United is still adamant on its demand for 17 seats. Now there has been a reaction from the Left party in this matter also. The Left party has expressed objection to JDU’s demand for 17 seats. He says that JDU has no right on 17 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar. On the question of seat sharing, Deputy CM Tejashwi Yadav said that the big leaders of the alliance will decide on it. He clearly said that seat distribution does not happen by giving information to the media.
JDU has no right on 17 Lok Sabha seats
Left party MLA Rambali Singh Yadav has given a big statement in this matter. He said that JDU has no right on 17 Lok Sabha seats. Our position is very strong in Karakat, Arrah, Patliputra and Jehanabad. Our demand is that we want these seats in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. Let us tell you that JDU has control over Jehanabad and Karakat seats. Mahabali Singh of JDU is the MP from Karakat seat. JDU’s Chandeshwar Chandravanshi is the MP from Jehanabad seat. After this demand of the Left party, political turmoil broke out within the Grand Alliance.
JDU said- We will not leave our seats under any circumstances.
Here, on the demand of the Left, senior JDU leader Bhishma Sahni said that we will not leave our seats under any circumstances. Talk to Left party RJD on the issue of sheet sharing. We are demanding 17 seats. This is a reasonable demand. JDU had won the Lok Sabha 2019 elections on these seats. Therefore we have the right on these seats. There is no doubt that we will contest elections on these seats this time also. Bhishma Sahni said that the formula for all the seats will be revealed on January 20. Earlier, JDU MLA and Bihar government minister Ashok Chaudhary had said on social media that there is a basis for JDU’s claims of 17 seats in the India alliance. In the last Lok Sabha elections, JDU party had won 16 seats, in total we contested on 17 seats.
