Seat status in Bihar

The magic figure of 122 is required for any alliance to form a government in Bihar. BJP has 78 MLAs in Bihar Assembly which has 243 MLAs. Whereas four MLAs of Jitan Ram Manjhi’s party ‘Hum’ are also with him. In such a situation, the total strength of NDA is 82. JDU of Nitish Kumar has 45 MLAs. In such a situation, if they become a part of the NDA alliance, this number reaches 127. Which is 5 more than the figure of 122 required for the majority. That means there is no need to make many arrangements.

Talking about RJD, the party has a total of 79 MLAs in the assembly. Whereas from India Bloc, together with Congress and Left parties, this number reaches 114. Meaning 8 away from the majority mark. Congress has 19 seats and the Left has 16 seats. Hence they have to put efforts into forming the government.
