Nitish our leader: BJP after Bihar seat-sharing deal

The NDA on Tuesday announced its seat-sharing formula for the Bihar Assembly polls. JD(U) will contest on 122 seats and BJP 121 out of a total of 243 seats. The BJP backed to the hilt Chief Minister Nitish Kumar as its leader in the state and rebuffed a rebellious Chirag Paswan, while acknowledging his LJP as an ally “at the Centre”. The BJP also made clear that “only those who accept the CM’S leadership will be deemed part of the NDA in Bihar”.
