Patna: After resolving the thorny seat sharing issue among grand alliance parties the Congress is now engaged in discussions with RJD to sort out differences persisting on few seats in Bihar. Trouble erupted on Monday when RJD leaders claimed that "the Congress party should leave their demand for some of the seats including Darbhanga".
Sources said that RJD has refused to leave Darbhanga seat for sitting MP Kirti Azad. Darbhanga is a key constituency in the entire Mithilanchal region.
According to RJD leaders, the constituency has traditionally seen a fight between RJD and BJP. In 2014, it was Kirti Azad who had defeated RJD's MP Mohammad Ali Ashraf Fatmi by nearly 34,000 votes. "Party has already finalized Darbhanga for our senior leader Abdul Bari Siddiqui", RJD’s Bhai Virendra said.
