Amit Shah in Bihar today; to hold NDA seat-sharing talks
August 31, 2015  09:57
BJP chief Amit Shah will meet his party's Bihar allies today to finalise how they will share the state's 243 seats for the assembly elections, expected to be held in October.

The allies are anxious that the BJP has not finalised seat-sharing yet and fear that in a last-minute scramble, it might apportion an inadequate number of seats to them, with no time to negotiate.  

Chirag Paswan of the Lok Janshakti Party or LJP, the son of Union minister Ramvilas Paswan, met Shah earlier this month to complain against the delay. 

He also conveyed his party's unease at the BJP not projecting its allies in its campaign in Bihar.
