After giving the biggest blow to the opposition Indian alliance by defeating JDU in Bihar, the main challenge facing BJP is the distribution of seats. With JDU coming together and Mukesh Sahni's Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) also joining NDA, there will be seven parties in the NDA clan in the state. In such a situation, JDU will have to bear the biggest loss, while to implement the mission clean sweep, BJP will also have to open its heart to keep its allies simple.
BJP's strategy is to limit the RJD-led grand alliance to the Yadav-Muslim voter segment only. After leaving JDU, the party had roped in Upendra Kushwaha, Jitan Ram Manjhi, and LJP faction leader Chirag Paswan, while talks with VIP Mukesh Sahni were in the final stages. Then BJP itself decided on the formula to contest 28 seats and leave 12 seats for its allies. However, after the arrival of JDU, the party will have to decide on a new formula.
JDU will suffer the biggest loss
According to BJP sources, JDU, which fought on 17 seats in the last elections, will get 10 to 12 seats this time. BJP itself will contest elections on a maximum of 20 seats. The remaining seats will be given to both the factions of LJP, VIP, HAM, and RLJD. The challenge of the party is also big because the opposition grand alliance is waiting for a split in seat distribution. Sensing this, other allies other than JDU may ask for seats under the old formula.
no position to leave anyone
BJP is in no position to abandon any ally to repeat its old performance. Like before coming together with JDU, the extremely backward class will join NDA. However, to keep the Dalit vote intact, the party will need to keep Manjhi friendly with both the factions of LJP. Similarly, to keep the Luv-Kush equation simple, the party needs Kushwaha. After the withdrawal of JDU, the BJP was preparing new social engineering through these parties.
These are the challenges
If VIP joins NDA, it will have to give two seats. BJP has already promised to give two seats to Kushwaha and one seat to Manjhi. Both factions of LJP are demanding six seats each. Among these, RJD has its eyes on Chirag Paswan. In such a situation, if both factions agree on six seats, then 29 seats are left for BJP and JDU. If Chirag increases the pressure then this number may reduce further.
