As seat-sharing talks within the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) continue ahead of the Bihar Assembly elections, Union Minister and Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi has demanded at least 15 seats for his party.
According to media reports, speaking on Wednesday, Manjhi said that if the NDA fails to allocate the proposed number of seats, HAM would not contest the elections, though it would continue to support the alliance.
“We are praying to NDA leaders because we feel humiliated. We need a respectable number of seats so that we get recognition as a party. If we do not get the proposed number of seats, we will not contest the election. We will support NDA, but we won't contest the election,” Manjhi said, according to NDTV.
