Decisions about Bihar cannot be taken while sitting in New

Impatience with the inability of opposition Grand Alliance in Bihar to resolve the thorny issue of seat-sharing came to the fore on Monday with the CPI(ML) asserting that decisions relating to the state "could not be taken while sitting in New Delhi."
He said "the stand of the Left is clear. Our primary objective is to defeat the NDA but for that the Mahagathbandhan must leave at least six seats for the Left Front. Left parties had contested 20 out of 40 seats in the last general elections. We have already scaled down. It is now up to the Grand Alliance to decide as to whether it wants an electoral understanding with us or not."

Attempts are being made by Madhepura MP Pappu Yadav
While leaving for the national capital on Monday for yet another round of talks with leaders within the party as well as partners in the coalition, BPCC president Madan Mohan Jha sought to refute such reports, claiming "we have made no demands. Seat-sharing talks are making good progress. The elections have just begun. Wait for two-three days and you will come to know our formula as well as other details."
