Overview

  • CPI(ML) called the 19-seat proposal an attack on its dignity and formally turned it down on Tuesday.
  • Leaders said they will submit a roughly 30-seat, non-negotiable list and will decide on staying in the alliance after the RJD responds.
  • Party sources said the offer replicated its 2020 allocation and sought to swap at least three constituencies it previously contested.
  • CPI(ML) points to its 2020 record of 12 wins from 19 contests and claims it boosted votes beyond its own seats to justify a larger share.
  • Seat-sharing within the RJD-led bloc of Congress, Left parties, and VIP remains unresolved ahead of Bihar’s 243-seat assembly polls.
