Overview

  • AAP convenor Saurabh Bhardwaj confirmed the party will contest every Bihar assembly seat independently, citing Congress’s decision to field a rival in a Gujarat by-election as a key factor.
  • The party has rolled out a 'Bihar mein bhi Kejriwal' outreach programme and launched a seven-phase yatra led by state in-charge Rakesh Yadav to sell its Delhi development model.
  • AAP plans to establish booth-level committees across Bihar to mobilize young and urban voters traditionally aligned with RJD and Congress.
  • Chirag Paswan’s Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) pledged to contest all 243 seats in support of the NDA and has demanded 40 constituencies in ongoing talks.
  • Senior NDA partners BJP and JD(U) have each staked claims to about 100 seats, while HAM and RLM are pressing for their own seat allocations ahead of formal agreements.
