Under the agreement, the BJP and JDU will contest 101 seats each, Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) will field candidates in 29 constituencies, while the Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) and Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) will contest six each. NDA leaders have hailed the distribution as balanced and harmonious, describing it as a reflection of strong coordination within the coalition.

Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan welcomed the announcement, saying, “We, the NDA family, have completed the seat-sharing for the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 in a cordial environment. Bihar is ready. Once again, an NDA government, this time with full strength alongside.”

Rashtriya Lok Morcha leader Upendra Kushwaha exuded confidence, posting on X , “We NDA allies have completed the distribution of seats in a cordial atmosphere after sitting together. Workers and leaders of all NDA parties joyfully welcome this unanimous decision. Bihar is ready. Once again, NDA government.”

Here, we have been given six seats, and we respect the decision of the leadership.” Responding to questions about the 29 seats given to LJP (Ram Vilas), he added, “Others can understand what they received, but we are satisfied with what we have been allotted and have no complaints.”
