Accordingly amid a war of words between his party vice-president prashant kishor and ally bjp over seat sharing for the 2020 bihar elections, chief minister nitish kumar on tuesday sought to play down the difference. Kumar said when asked about the alliance in the state. “Sab theek hai (all is well)". Furthermore Kishor, who has been a vocal critic of the BJP’s decision on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act and the National Register of Citizens (NRC), had recently suggested that the JDU should get a larger share in seat distribution for the polls.

 

Apparently as of today, there is no discussion about the seat sharing but as and when the discussion happens, the ratio of seat sharing has to be basis 2009 and 2015. Kishor told "In 2009, JDU fought on 142 seats and bjp on 101, So the ratio was 1:1.4. In 2015, JDU won 71 and bjp 53 (when they contested against each other). Here again the ratio is 71/53, which equals to 1:1.35. As far as LJP is concerned, both parties could give equal number of seats from their respective quota". Furthermore the bjp then hit back at Kishor, saying those "engaged in the business of collating political data and coining slogans" were benefiting the opposition in the state.

 

When taking to twitter, bihar deputy chief minister sushil kumar modi on monday launched a veiled attack on the election strategist after he asserted that the JD(U) had a greater political heft in bihar and, as such, it should contest more seats than the saffron party in the assembly polls due next year. Apparently "The 2020 assembly polls in the state will be fought under the leadership of prime minister narendra modi and chief minister Nitish Kumar. Seat-sharing will be finalised by top leaders of both parties at an appropriate time".
