Bihar Elections: Key RJD Seat Sharing Meet Held In Patna Ahead Of Tejashwi's Meeting With Congress

This special report tracks the tense negotiations within Bihar's Mahagatbandhan alliance, as the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) holds a crucial internal meeting at Rabri Devi's residence in Patna. The primary agenda is to finalize a seat-sharing formula before party leader Tejashwi Yadav's scheduled meeting with Congress leaders in Delhi. A major point of contention is the leadership question, as reports indicate the 'direction of Congress regarding the Chief Minister's face is a big hurdle' in cementing the alliance deal. The discussions are set against the backdrop of Congress's poor showing in the previous election and the RJD's campaign focus on job creation, led by Tejashwi Yadav, to energize voters. Top leaders like Lalu Prasad Yadav are directly involved in the high-stakes talks to resolve the deadlock.
