LJP (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan has reduced his earlier demand of 40 seats and submitted a list of 35 constituencies to the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections.
The BJP has so far offered its NDA ally 26 seats, along with the assurance of one Legislative Council (MLC) seat and one Rajya Sabha seat in the future, The Indian Express reported.
Paswan, however, has been pushing for at least two assembly seats each in the five Lok Sabha constituencies, Hajipur, Jamui, Vaishali, Khagaria and Samastipur, where his party performed strongly in the 2024 general elections.
