BJP gearing to contest all 40 Lok Sabha seats in Bihar - NewsX

Apparently not wanting to be left in the lurch if ally JD (U) decided to break the alliance, the state BJP unit is bracing itself to contest all 40 parliamentary seats in Bihar. "Yes, we are preparing to contest all 40 Lok Sabha seats from Bihar in the next general elections after taking into account all possibilities, including the JD(U) deciding to sever ties with us at some stage," state unit BJP president C P Thakur said. He, however, emphasized that the JD (U) breaking away from its alliance with the BJP was just a possibility and he was sure that the ally in Bihar would not do so. Thakur justified the state unit BJP's decision, saying that if the alliance was to remain intact there could be last minute exchange of parliamentary constituencies between the two parties.
