Can't talk about seat sharing with SP…Whose statement?
Seat sharing with the Samajwadi party is also one of the reasons behind the speculation of Jayant Chaudhary joining the NDA. According to sources, RLD wants to contest at least 10 seats in western UP. RLD has made complete preparations for this. SP is not ready to give more than 5 seats.
RLD is staking claim on Ghaziabad, Meerut, Bijnor, Hathras, mathura, Saharanpur, muzaffarnagar, Baghpat, amroha and Kairana seats in western UP. SP is ready to give Bijnor, Hathras, Baghpat, mathura and muzaffarnagar seats.
In 2019, RLD contested with the SP-BSP alliance. The party got 3 seats (Muzaffarnagar, Baghpat and Mathura) at that time. However, the party could not win a single seat.
BJP's eye on the weak link of india, that's why the discussion intensified
As soon as nitish kumar started the exercise of connecting the opposition parties, the bjp swung into action. Even before the patna meeting of the opposition front, Jitan ram Manjhi of bihar was roped in by the BJP. After the patna meeting, there was a split in the ncp and a strong faction went to the NDA.
Experts say that the bjp is eyeing those parties, which are the weak link of the front. In the coming days, bjp can also create its own party (Camerawadi).
The parties which have been broken by the bjp till now have their own strong mass base. That's why the needle of doubt is now on RLD side as well. Till now bjp has brought us and ncp of india alliance together. Jitan ram Manjhi's party has the power to change the equation of 2-3 seats in Bihar.
Similarly, ncp has a strong mass base in maharashtra and within the party there was a war of succession between uncle and nephew for a long time. After Sharad Pawar, Ajit is also very strong on the ground and has the ability to spoil the equation of 15-20 seats.
