Multiple credible news reports confirm that Manoj Pandey, spokesperson of Jharkhand Mukti Morcha (JMM), has stated that the party is demanding 12 seats in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections as part of Mahagathbandhan/INEDIA alliance seat-sharing talks.
The JMM has submitted a list of 12 “strong seats” it wants to contest, to the RJD. Examples include Tarapur, Belhar, Katoria, Chakai, Jhajha, Dhamdaha, Manihari, etc.
The demand is being made during discussions with alliance partners. The final number may depend on negotiations.
