NDA tensions rise in Bihar as JDU fields candidates on five key seats allotted to Chirag Paswan’s LJP (RV) ahead of the 2025 Assembly elections. Learn more about the political clash and its impact.
The political rivalry within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in Bihar has intensified as Janata Dal United (JDU) announced candidates for five key constituencies previously allocated to the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) [LJP (RV)] led by Chirag Paswan. The announcement marks a fresh conflict between alliance partners just weeks before the November 2025 Bihar Assembly elections.
The seats in question—Sonbarsa, Rajgir, Gaighat, Ekma, and Morwa—were officially allotted to the LJP (RV) under the NDA’s seat-sharing arrangement. However, the JDU’s decision to field its own candidates in these constituencies has sparked controversy and highlighted cracks within the alliance.

The JDU candidates nominated for these seats include Vidya Sagar Nishad for Morwa, Ratnesh Sada for Sonbarsa, Kaushal Kishore for Rajgir, Komal Singh for Gaighat, and Dhumal Singh for Ekma. This move comes shortly after the JDU expressed dissatisfaction with the distribution of several stronghold seats to alliance partners.
Looking back at the 2020 Bihar Assembly elections, these constituencies have been significant battlegrounds. For instance, Ratnesh Sada of the JDU won Sonbarsa, and Kaushal Kishore secured Rajgir for the party, with LJP candidates finishing third in both areas. Similarly, other seats like Gaighat, Ekma, and Morwa were won by candidates from rival parties like Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD), while LJP remained in third place.
The upcoming elections, scheduled to be held in two phases on November 6 and November 11, with counting on November 14, are expected to be fiercely contested. This intra-alliance dispute could potentially affect NDA’s overall performance in the state, raising questions about the coalition’s unity and strategy.
As the political drama unfolds, both JDU and LJP (RV) will aim to consolidate their voter base while managing alliance dynamics. Voters in Bihar are keenly watching these developments as parties gear up for what promises to be a decisive election.
