Oct 14, 2025 01:30 am CST

The BJP has finalized a strategic seat-sharing arrangement for the upcoming 2025 Bihar Assembly elections, marking a historic shift by contesting equal seats with JD(U) for the first time. This calculated approach mirrors their successful Maharashtra strategy and could position the party to claim Bihar's Chief Ministership if their candidates outperform JD(U) counterparts. Meanwhile, the opposition Mahagathbandhan remains mired in negotiations with elections less than three weeks away, highlighting BJP's organizational advantage in this critical electoral battle.
