Before the elections of the Bihar Assembly, the political parties ruling and opposition camps indulge “pressure policies” by announcing candidates and the number of seats they want to attack.
The latest is Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), whose leader Tejashwi Yadav said that “all seats of 243 gatherings” in Bihar.
This announcement was created by waves in the Indian National Development Inclusive Alliance (India), especially in the Congress Party, which looked at several seats after the success of the “voter Adhikar Yatra” in Bihar led by Rahul Gandhi.
Yadav focused on a public meeting in Kanti, in the Muzafafarpur district of September, and said, “Tejashwi Yadav will attack all 243 mount chairs. Keep in mind that Tejashwi will be everywhere and attacked all 243 seats. I recall everyone to vote in their name.”
Mr. Yadav made a notice, although interviews for seat sharing were limited to several brainstorm sessions among the best leaders.
He also made his own allies concerned, especially at a time when two other Jharki Mukti Morcha (JMM) and Kumar Paras led Rashtriya Lok Janshakti Party (RLJP) were included in the alliance. The main Minister Hemant Soren gave six seats in Jharkhand elections in 2024 and would expect RJD to return kindness.
VikashashEel Insaan Party (VIP) led by Mukesh Sahni requires 60 seats, and Mr. Yadav must also allocate a large number of seats to the three left sides that are part of the Indian block in Bihar.
In the elections up to 2020, RJD attacked 144 seats and won 75 years and became the only largest party in the assembly. His partner partner Mahagathbandhan faced public opinion surveys from 70 seats, but won only 19.
While the sources of Congress said that the party wanted more seats this time, RJD sources indicated that they were promoting fewer seats for Congress to concept other partners.
The Indian Communist Party (CPI), CPI (Marxista) and CPI (Marxist-Lenin) also demanded more seats because they won 16 out of 29, which attacked in 2020.
Such pressure policy is not only limited to the Indian block, but also visible in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA). Minister of the Union and founder of Hindustani Awam Morcha (secular) Jitam Ram Manjhi showed that he sees the upcoming elections as the battle of Do-or-Die. On Sunday in Gaya, Mr. Manjhi said that even 10 years after his party’s foundation, Ham (s) had not yet received the status of a recognized party. He explained that there are only two ways to achieve a state: to win at least eight seats in the elections to the assembly or to obtain at least 6% of the total votes in question.
“This can only be achieved when our party competes with at least 15 to 20 seats and wins half of them, otherwise we can build candidates on at least 100 seats and get 10,000-15,000 votes everywhere and achieve the necessary share of the vote,” Mr. Manjhi said.
“We have workers and leaders and do not spend any money for the campaign. Yet, whether we go, the crowd is gathering. NDA leaders have to understand which party has the potential to win and assign chairs.
Previously, even Chirag Paswan boss in Lok Janshakti (Ram Vilas) said he would attack all 243 assembly chairs and each segment “will see Chirag Paswan”.
Meanwhile, the NDA parties also resort to pressure policies by notifying candidates themselves. Main Minister Nitish Kumar announced the name Santosh Kumar Niral as a candidate of the Rajpur chair (Reserve) in Boxar and BJP followed by announcing the Kumar Pramod as his candidate for Motihari in East Champaran.
It is expected that interviews on seat sharing will be acquired when the Minister of the Interior of the Union Amit Shah visits Bihar on Wednesday (September 17, 2025).
