PATNA: Bihar chief minister Nitish Kumar lately declined to divulge the "many things" he discussed with BJP chief Amit Shah right through the two conferences they had in Patna, but mentioned he expected the BJP to come out with a seat-sharing components acceptable to all NDA constituents within weeks.
He also refused to wade into the debate prompted by means of Rahul Gandhi's reported commentary that Congress is "a Muslim party". Gandhi's comment has invited sharp reactions from Prime Minister Narendra Modi and a number of other other BJP leaders.
"I cannot comment on what people in other parties say," Kumar mentioned when asked about Gandhi's commentary printed by means of an Urdu day by day.
The JD(U) president expressed hope that the NDA in Bihar would be capable of discover a components to percentage seats quickly. His optimism about amicably fixing the issue came after he and Shah had two rounds of assembly on May 12 in Patna.
Since the conferences, the two coalition partners have affirmed harmony within the National Democratic Alliance ahead of the a very powerful parliamentary polls due by means of next year.
"We talked about many things when we met over breakfast and dinner. There is no point in disclosing the details in public. As far as Lok Sabha polls are concerned, a prastaav (proposal) may come from their side within four-five weeks," Kumar told reporters in Patna after participating in Lok Samvad- his weekly public interaction programme.
He was once flanked by means of his deputy Sushil Kumar Modi of the BJP and a number of other other state ministers from both the parties.
Kumar and Shah had projected an image of conviviality right through their interactions on Juy 12, giving a transparent trace that differences over sharing of seats have been ironed out.
The BJP has 22 sitting MPs within the state, which has a complete of 40 Lok Sabha seats. The JD(U), which fought one by one in 2014, has simplest two MPs but has been insisting that or not it's given seats commensurate with its bigger tally within the state meeting.
The LJP gained six seats in 2014, whilst the RLSP three. Both the parties are NDA partners and contested the 2014 polls in alliance with the BJP.
BJP and JD(U) resources have mentioned that a seat-sharing components can be agreed after taking the LJP and the RLSP into self belief.
Ram Vilas Paswan of LJP and RLSP's Upendra Kushwaha had been in a foreign country when Shah met Kumar.
The JD(U) had snapped ties with the BJP in 2013 and, following the drubbing in Lok Sabha polls, shaped a Grand Alliance with the RJD and the Congress. The Grand Alliance registered a stunning victory within the 2015 meeting polls.
However, last year when various corruption cases came up against Tejashwi Yadav, his then deputy and son of arch-rival Lalu Prasad, Kumar walked out of the alliance to rejoin the NDA.
