Bihar polls

Bihar Assembly has a strength of 243 members out of which 38 seats are reserved for SC and two for ST. In 2015 state polls, Mahagatbandhan comprising RJD, JD(U) and Congress won a whopping majority with 178 seats under leership of Nitish Kumar. On or hand,  BJP-led alliance won from only 58 constituencies. On July 26, 2017, Nitish Kumar stepped down as CM citing irreconcilable differences with RJD over corruption allegations against Tejashwi Yav and joined hands with its former ally BJP.

Alliance woes

As per Mahagatbandhan's anuncement, RJD, Congress, CPI(M-L), CPI and CPI (Marxist) will contest 144, 70, 19, 6 and 4 seats respectively. While it was clarified that JMM and VIP would be accommodated in RJD's quota, Mukesh Sahni expressed his reservations over seat-sharing formula. Meanwhile, Lok Janshakti Party declared that it will fight Bihar polls separately owing to ideological differences with JD(U). However, LJP t only reiterated its commitment to NDA alliance at Centre but also revealed that its elected MLAs would join hands with BJP to form government in Bihar.
