Following the disagreements over seat-sharing, JMM made its announcement.

Bihar Assembly Election 2025: The Seat-Sharing Causes the Arguments
Right before the nomination deadline, Congress unveiled its 48 candidates’ list that was prepared without notifying the RJD fully. Besides that, very small allies like the Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP) even talk of such an unfair division of the seats that they dare not contest. The fights and brawls inside the bloc have polluted the air with doubts about whether the bloc can actually unite against the NDA.

The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) did not waste time reacting to this. Amit Malviya, the BJP IT cell head, sarcastically said, “Bihar has been rescued,” while blaming Congress’s Rahul Gandhi and RJD’s Tejashwi Yadav for the situation. The NDA is banking on the opposition’s disintegration to win.
Features: Impact on INDIA Alliance’s Electoral Prospect
Fragmented Unity: JMM’s departure brings to light how difficult it is to hold a large consortium together.
Voter Perception: The bickering among members can lead to an assumption that INDIA will not govern properly, creating a loss in voter trust.
Regional Ripples: The impact of the split might be felt politically in Jharkhand also.
NDA Advantage: The ruling alliance may get certain gains from the opposition vote that is not united.
Negotiation Pressure: The remaining partners in the coalition may seek to renegotiate seat-sharing agreements.
