Talks on with RJD & Left, but Congress may settle for 50-60 seats in Bihar

IndiaTimes Thursday, 17 July 2025 ()
Congress is likely to contest fewer seats in Bihar than in 2020, aiming for 50-60 seats while prioritizing winnability after a disappointing performance last time. The party seeks alliance coherence and aims to strengthen the anti-NDA coalition by promoting Rahul Gandhi's message among backward classes. This strategic shift reflects lessons learned from past failures and a focus on unity.
