Hindustani Awam Morcha chief and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi stated on Wednesday that there is no dissatisfaction within the National Democratic Alliance, but warned his party may not contest the upcoming elections if its demand for 15 seats is not fulfilled. Manjhi said his party has long struggled for recognition and argued that securing more seats would help end this ongoing issue. He pointed out that in the previous Assembly elections, HAM contested seven seats and won four, suggesting that a larger allocation could strengthen their chances and assist in achieving official party recognition.
Despite concerns over seat-sharing, Manjhi dismissed any talk of leaving the alliance, confirming HAM will remain with the NDA regardless of the outcome. He explained that the party’s base could secure a meaningful share of votes even if it runs independently. JD-U spokesperson Rajiv Ranjan also addressed the matter, noting that all NDA partners have seat-sharing expectations, and assured that an official announcement is expected soon.
