Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) leader Sushil Modi on Friday said the central leadership will take a final call on seat-sharing for the upcoming Bihar Assembly polls.
"Discussions are going on at the central level and not at the state level. I am sure the allotment of the seats will be discussed in a few days," Sushil Modi said.
"I don't believe in surveys and will not like to comment on it," he added when asked to comment on the pre-poll surveys.
The pre-poll survey has predicted a majority for the BJP and its allies in the Bihar polls.
The Election Commission announced the dates for Bihar assembly polls on Wednesday.
The five-phase election will be held from October to November; the first phase will take place on October 12 and the final phase will be held on November 5.
Counting of votes will take place on November 8.
