BJP likely to finalise candidates in PM Modi’s presence on Sunday

The BJP’s central election committee is set to meet with Prime Minister Narendra Modi and senior leaders to finalize candidates for the Bihar polls. Amidst ongoing “hard-bargaining” with allies, the party’s first list of nominees is expected soon. Seat-sharing talks with allies, including the LJP, are progressing positively, with the BJP and JD(U) likely to contest around 101-102 seats each.
