JDU Finalizes Candidates for Key Bihar Seats, Leaving NDA Allies, Including Chirag Paswan, in Speculation

As the Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 approach, the JDU has officially announced candidates for multiple key constituencies, including Sonbarsha (Ratnesh Sada), Gayghat (Komal Singh), Rajgir (Kaushal Kishore), Morwa, and Ekma. This move has triggered speculation and dissatisfaction among NDA allies, particularly Chirag Paswan’s LJP, which had been eyeing several of these seatsSources indicate that while media reports suggested LJP might receive these constituencies, the JDU retained control and finalized candidates before any formal allocation to Chirag Paswan. Some seats, such as Govindganj and Brahmpur, originally BJP’s quota, have been ceded to Chirag Paswan’s party, reflecting partial accommodation within NDA.The announcement has intensified internal negotiations, as leaders like Upendra Kushwaha and Jitan Ram Manjhi reportedly remain unhappy with their seat allocations. Despite a pre-decided seat-sharing formula, dissatisfaction persists over specific constituencies and candidate preferences, highlighting continuing tensions within the NDA alliance ahead of the elections.
