There is a tussle over seat sharing between NDA and India Alliance regarding the Lok Sabha elections in Bihar. Meanwhile, according to the information, India Alliance has started efforts to bring Chirag Paswan's party into its fold. According to reports, Chirag Paswan's party has been offered 8 seats in Bihar and 2 seats in UP by the opposition alliance. Till now, no statement has been given by LJP Ram Vilas on this issue, but discussions are going on within the party.

After Nitish Kumar's entry in NDA, there is talk that Chirag Paswan is not comfortable in NDA. At the same time, Nitish Kumar is also not in favor of giving much importance to Chirag Paswan in NDA.

Chirag Paswan considers himself the real successor of Ram Vilas Paswan. He says that BJP should give him the same number of seats which were given to LJP in the last elections. Besides, Chirag Paswan also wants to contest elections from Hajipur seat. Whereas his uncle Pashupati Paras has been refusing to leave Hajipur seat under any circumstances. He says that Chirag Paswan can be the heir to the property but I am the political heir.

The biggest issue seems to be on the seats between Chirag Paswan and Pashupati Paras. Chirag Paswan and his uncle Pashupati Paras are calling their respective parties as the real LJP (Lokjan Shakti Party). It is being said that Paras is asking for the seat on the seating gating formula. Whereas Chirag Paswan is demanding seats by claiming himself to be the real heir of Ram Vilas Paswan's vote bank.

RJD and LJP have already contested elections together in Bihar politics. In the 2004 Lok Sabha elections, RJD, LJP and Congress contested the elections together and this alliance got resounding success. Although RJD and LJP were together in the 2009 Lok Sabha elections, Congress had separated from this alliance and the RJD-LJP alliance had to face defeat. The RJD-LJP alliance also had to face defeat in the 2010 assembly elections. After which LJP joined NDA in the 2014 Lok Sabha elections. Relations between Lalu family and Ram Vilas Paswan's family have always been good. When Ram Vilas Paswan lost the 2009 elections, he was sent to Rajya Sabha on behalf of RJD.

Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) chief Upendra Kushwaha has also expressed his views regarding seat sharing in the state. He has said that how many seats his party is going to contest in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections, it will be known after the NDA meeting to be held soon. Let us tell you that Upendra Kushwaha's party has been claiming three seats in Bihar. However, in the current condition of NDA, there is less possibility of them getting three seats. In the 2014 Lok Sabha elections, Upendra Kushwaha's party got 3 seats in NDA. Although JDU was not a part of NDA at that time.
