seat sharing talks

Opposition parties ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Mallikarjun Kharge voiced strong confidence in a political shift in the state.

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav arrived in the national capital early Tuesday for a crucial meeting with Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge.

While the BJD sought to contest from over 100 seats in the 147-member Odisha Assembly, it is not acceptable to the BJP, sources in the saffron camp claimed.

Led by senior leader Mukul Wasnik, the Congress's five-member National Alliance Committee (NAC) initiated talks with authorized leaders of the JD(U) and the RJD in New Delhi.

The leaders of the two parties held initial discussions on seat sharing for Lok Sabha elections and assembly polls, JMM sources said.
