Chirag Paswan gains ground as Pashupati Paras is excluded: How will BJP’s ‘rotational policy’ affect NDA’s Bihar prospects?

The BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar has finalized its seat-sharing agreement for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, but this decision has sparked concerns about the alliance’s unity. Under the agreement, the BJP will contest 17 seats, while Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) will fight on 16 seats. The LJP, led by Chirag Paswan, has been allocated 5 seats, excluding Union Minister Pashupati Paras, leading to potential factional contests within the LJP. Despite Chirag Paswan’s strong relationship with the BJP, Paras has warned of rebellion, threatening the alliance’s prospects in Bihar.
