Bihar Polls
The opposition bloc has so far not announced its seat-sharing formula, but the smaller allies have declared their respective candidates for seats they are comfortable being allotted. Earlier, another Left ally, CPI(M), which has two MLAs in the current assembly, had announced that both its MLAs, Ajay Kumar and Satyendra Yadav, would file their nomination papers on October 14 and 18. The ruling NDA, on the other hand, has finalised a seat-sharing formula. According to the formula, the BJP will contest 101 of the 243 seats, while Chief Minister Nitish Kumar’s JD(U) has accepted a proportionate share, dropping its earlier demand for a dominant share.
