Mahagathbandhan Turf, NDA Fights

The challenge NDA is facing is to retain all five seats that are going to poll with the Mahagathbandhan. The five polling seats who are trying to make inroads, in NDA are RJD, Congress, RLSP, HAM(S) and Vikassheel Insaan Party (VIP).

In 2014 NDA had won all the five seats Sitamarhi, Madhubani, Saran, Hajipur, and Muzaffarpur which had compromised BJP, JD (U) and LJP.

Ram Vilas Paswan is replaced by younger brother Pashupati Kumar Paras by LJP in Hajipur. There is a tough fight for NDA, as Hajipur was represented by Ram Vilas Paswan for eight years. Paras takes on RJD Shiv Chandra Ram.

The seat-sharing pact as per grand alliance, Congress leader Shakeel Ahmad is independent, BJP has filled Ashok, son of MP Hukumdev Narayan Yadav, Hukumdev is a 4-time BJP MP from Mithilanchal.

Muzaffarpur which is dominated by Mallahs, BJP MP will Face Rajbhushan C Nishad of VIP. Varun Kumar Of JD (U) returned the ticket and Sunil Kumar Pintu joined JD(U) after quitting BJP.
