With the announcement of by-polls in Bihar, allies in the mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) on Monday began staking their claim to the seats.
Alliance partner Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) led by Jitan Ram Manjhi staked claim over the Nathnagar seat in Bhagalpur. Rashtriya Janata Dal leaders said their party would contest in four seats.
The Congress, another ally, said all allies should accept fewer numbers of seats and work for the victory of the ‘grand alliance.’
