changed math
Interestingly, in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, Nawada seat was with LJP. This time this seat has gone to BJP’s account. Last time BJP’s Rama Devi had won Shivhar seat. Now this seat has gone to JDU’s account.
JDU’s Mahabali Singh had won in Karakat. This seat has gone to the account of Upendra Kushwaha. Gaya seat went to Jitan Ram Manjhi’s party from JDU. At present, JDU’s Vijay Kumar Manjhi is the MP from Gaya seat.
While announcing the seats, JDU MP Sanjay Jha said that there is a one-sided wave in Bihar. There is no preparation in the opposition yet. All our preparations have been done. Together we will win 40 out of 40 seats.
Shock to Pashupati Paras
This seat sharing is being considered as a blow for Chirag Paswan’s uncle and Union Minister Pashupati Paras. He has not got a single seat. When Bihar BJP President and Deputy CM Samrat Chaudhary was questioned about this, he said that NDA will fight with full strength in Bihar and we will win all 40 seats. NDA will go to Bihar elections with a complete alliance of 5 parties. Talks are going on with Pashupati Kumar Paras.
