Bihar polls: Lalu jumps gun amid bickering over seat sharing deal; distributes tickets to his leaders

Despite the approaching nomination deadline for Bihar assembly elections, the Mahagathbandhan has not yet finalized its seat-sharing deal. RJD patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav has begun distributing party tickets to favored candidates, including prominent leaders who switched parties. This move follows a similar pattern from the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, where RJD also announced candidates before a formal agreement.
