The BJP and the Janata Dal (United) would contest equal number of seats in Bihar in 2019 Lok Sabha election, BJP president Amit Shah announced on Friday.

The Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP), the Lok Jan Shakti Party (LJP) and other constituents of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) would get due representation in the seat-sharing formula, Mr. Shah said in New Delh.

“A formal announcement of the exact number of seats will be made in a couple of days,” he said in the presence of JD(U) chief and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar.

LJP chief Ram Vilas Paswan and RLSP leader Upendra Khushwaha were firmly with the NDA, he said.
