PATNA, April 29 -- As the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and its allies have begun the co-ordination meetings to identify seats for its alliance partners for the forthcoming Bihar Assembly polls, HAM-S leader and Union minister Jitan Ram Manjhi said on Monday that the NDA seat sharing final talks would be held in last week of June or first week of July. Manjhi, who held a meeting with Union home minister Amit Shah in New Delhi on Monday, was talking to media persons in New Delhi. He clarified that there was no confusion that, "Bihar elections would be contested under the leadership of Nitish Kumar and the NDA would aim at winning 225 seats." "There is broad consensus among the allies that chief minister and Janata Dal (United) leader Nitish Kumar will be the face of the election in the state," said RLSP leader Upendra Kushwaha. In the meantime, a senior JD(U) leader and Lok Sabha MP from Jhanjharpur Rampreet Mandal has demanded that Nitish Kumar should be made convener of the NDA ahead of Bihar polls. "The elections are scheduled to be held this year. I will request PM and all alliance partners that there should be a convener of NDA either in Bihar or in Delhi. It is my request that if Nitish Kumar is made the NDA convener, this will send a good message," said Mandal while talking to a news channel. NDA leaders aware of the matter said there could be swapping of seats between partners, depending on the winnability of the candidates. The JD(U), Hindustan Awam Morcha (HAM), Lok Janshakti Party (RV), and the Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) are part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) that will jointly contest the polls, likely in October-November. In 2020, the JD(U) won 43 of the 115 seats it contested; the BJP won 71 of 110; the LJP (RV) contested 137 seats but won a single seat; HAM won four of the 7 it contested. RLSP was not part of the NDA then, and the Vikaasheel Insaan Party (VIP) won four of the 11 it contested, taking the NDA's score to 125. "The NDA is confident of a better performance and so far we have been moving like a well-coordinated team as suggested by all-party meeting in all districts. This would be followed by meetings in all assembly seats," said BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal....
