The seat-sharing talks between the Congress and the RJD are headed towards resolution, and an announcement is likely on Thursday.
According to the sources, the RJD has agreed to concede nine Lok Sabha seats in Bihar to the Congress, excluding Purnia, which the latter wanted for Rajesh Ranjan, alias Pappu Yadav, who merged his Jan Adhikar Party recently with the Congress.
In an exchange, the RJD is likely to concede Katihar to the Congress. Confirming the positive development, Congress State president Akhilesh Prasad Singh, said, “We have finalised a seat-sharing formula, and an announcement will be made soon.” He wasn’t willing to share further details on the nine seats.
