Bihar BJP president Dilip Jaiswal on Saturday said that the party's central leadership will make important announcements regarding seat sharing with the allies of the NDA and tickets for the upcoming assembly polls on Sunday.

While addressing a press conference in Patna, Jaiswal dismissed rife speculations of discontent among NDA constituents in the state.

"Everything is fine in the NDA... seat-sharing arrangements and the list of candidates will soon be decided by the party's central leadership, which will make important announcements related to seat sharing and tickets at 11 am on Sunday," Jaiswal said in a press conference here.

Earlier today, NDA constituent Rashtriya Lok Morcha (RLM) chief Upendra Kushwaha also dismissed the discontent speculations, saying that talks for seat sharing have not yet concluded.

Taking to X, Kushwaha said, "Don't pay attention to rumours floating around. The talks are not yet concluded. Wait...! I don't know how the news is being circulated in the media. If someone is planting news, it's deceit, it's betrayal."

Similarly, Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi too denied any stress within the alliance after his perceived warning not to contest polls if denied a respectable number of seats.

Manjhi said that he was "requesting and not making a claim" that his Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) be given a respectable number of seats, otherwise the party might not contest the election.
