The BJP\u2019s central election committee (CEC) is meeting on October 12.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The sources told <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight:400\">News18<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight:400\"> a first of list of candidates is likely to be released on October 13, and this is expected to be a joint NDA list that will include allies and not just BJP nominees.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">Besides, the sources said, a series of key meetings, including the BJP core group, will be held on October 11. All alliance partners are expected to be on board with the final arrangement, they said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">They said state-level talks are complete and the BJP has prepared a panel of three names per seat, which will be discussed during the meeting on Saturday (October 11). These names will then be placed before the Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led parliamentary board, they said. The Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) has authorised the BJP to lead the coordination with other NDA allies, they added.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">On Wednesday (October 8), Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi made a cryptic post on X amid the seat-sharing talks in the NDA. He seemingly expressed his disappointment with NDA seat-sharing talks.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"7\" class=\"story_para_7\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201cHo nyaay agar to aadha do, yadi usme bhi koi baadha ho, to de do kewal 15 gram, rakho apni dharti tamaam, HAM wahi khushi se khayenge, parijan pe asi na uthayenge,&#8221; Manjhi\u2019s wrote.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"8\" class=\"story_para_8\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">But Manjhi later clarified that there is no dispute and his party is demanding enough seats to be recognised in the Bihar assembly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"9\" class=\"story_para_9\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The BJP, however, was forced to respond to this and clear the air on possible rifts over seat-sharing in the NDA. Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal spoke to reporters after a meeting of the BJP election committee. He said the party discussed the seats it had lost in the last election.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"10\" class=\"story_para_10\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">\u201c\u2026All is well. Everything is proceeding very smoothly, and everything will be completed on time,&#8221; he told reporters after the meeting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"11\" class=\"story_para_11\"><span style=\"font-weight:400\">The Election Commission of India has announced the schedule for the Bihar polls. The 243-seat assembly will go to polls in two phases on November 6 and 11, with the counting of votes scheduled to take place on November 14.<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2987961266 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>October 09, 2025, 18:41 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-2987961266 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/elections\/\">elections<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Bihar Polls: BJP Says NDA Seat-Sharing Talks To Be Final In 2 Days, CEC Meeting On Oct 12<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
