Overview

  • Alliance math fixed: BJP 101, JD(U) 101, LJP(RV) 29, RLM 6 and HAM(S) 6, with senior NDA leaders announcing the formula on October 12.
  • Seat-sharing in the INDIA bloc remains unsettled as RJD and Congress haggle over numbers, with Lalu Prasad and Tejashwi Yadav in Delhi for a court hearing and possible consultations; a meeting with Congress leaders may happen Monday, according to reports.
  • Tejashwi Yadav reaffirmed his pledge of a government job for every household, saying a law would follow within 20 days of forming a government and jobs within 20 months, drawing mixed public reactions over feasibility.
  • Prashant Kishor launched a Raghopur push, warning Tejashwi could lose the seat and saying Jan Suraaj will decide a strong candidate after consultations, without ruling out contesting himself.
  • Flux on the ground continues as RJD MLA Vibha Devi resigned while praising Nitish Kumar and BJP’s Mishri Lal Yadav quit alleging neglect of Dalits and OBCs, even as AIMIM said it plans to field about 100 candidates; polling is on November 6 and 11 with counting November 14.
