"Congress Initiates Lok Sabha Seat-Sharing Talks with Bihar Allies and INDIA Bloc Partners"

The Congress has initiated formal seat-sharing talks with its allies in Bihar, the Janata Dal (United) and the Rashtriya Janata Dal, aiming to reach a reasonable arrangement to collectively challenge the Bharatiya Janata Party in the upcoming Lok Sabha elections. The party's national alliance committee has begun discussions with authorized leaders of the JD(U) and the RJD, with the Congress aiming to secure a respectable number of seats in the alliance. The Congress is pushing for a larger share of seats than the five it received in the previous elections, citing the need to represent all sections of society, as the opposition alliance seeks to counter the BJP's dominance in Bihar.
