The Congress Party is facing challenges in Bihar’s seat distribution for the upcoming Assembly elections. The Mahagathbandhan (Grand Alliance), which includes Congress, VIP, CPI, JMM, and RJD, is currently in talks over how to divide the seats. According to sources, Congress is expected to contest around 60 to 62 seats.
This decision could impact Congress’s chances of winning a significant number of seats. The party is focusing on selecting seats that are winnable, as there is growing concern over the shifting dynamics of seat-sharing within the alliance. Congress had hoped to win 70 seats in the 2020 elections, but now there are doubts about this goal.
Smaller parties in the Mahagathbandhan, like VIP and JMM, are also demanding a larger share of seats. This has added to the tensions within the alliance. Congress leaders are working to resolve these issues and ensure that the party contests key constituencies.
The final decision on seat-sharing will play a critical role in Congress’s strategy for the elections, and it could affect the outcome of the vote.
