Former Bihar chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi arrived here at Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) president Amit Shah's residence on Monday to finalise the NDA seat sharing formula for the upcoming Bihar assembly elections.
"There is no confusion, everything is sorted and it is likely that an announcement will be made today," Manjhi told reporters before leaving for Shah's residence.
Manjhi, who had initially agreed to go with the Amit Shah's efforts to settle the seat-sharing, is now reportedly looking for more than 15 seats.
According to sources, BJP is likely to contest on 160 seats, leaving rest for its allies.
