Except Madhubani, BJP saves all 12 chairs ‘sit’ others while completing the agreement with JD (U).

MLC Congress Rajesh Ram (West Champaran) also joined JD (U) after the end of his term as MLC.
Thus, the total number called ‘sit’ from JD (U) rose to nine.
However, JD (U) got two chairs again than nine seat sitting – these two chairs were Madhubani and Patna, which was last won by the Ritlal Rai RJD.
Because it was asked that VIP has threatened to involve its candidates from 24 seats, if not allocated four seats, Choudhary said, “we will take all allies of NDA with confidence.” BJP leaders also said that they would take all allies of NDA with confidence before fighting the Board poll.
Reacting on the BJP-JD agreement (U), VIP spokesman Rajiv Mishra told TII on Saturday said, “When BJP and JD (U) said that they would take all allies with confidence, we will sit with BJP leaders and held talks.
“Reacted to the chair sharing agreement between BJP and JD (U), Danish Human Rights Spokesman Rizwan on Saturday said,” Even though we were disappointed with non-holding meetings with all the NDA allies before sharing a chair, we would not take steps Bad to destroy Bihar only for two board chairs.
We strongly believe that Bihar developed in all fields under the leadership of CM Nith Kumar.
