The increasing demands of alliance partners in Bihar, has caused a kink in BJP. Taking the advantage of diminishing magic of Modi and Shah, the alliance partners have increased the size of their demand list. Ram Vilas Paswan alone is not ready to accept anything less than 40 seats for his Lok Janshakti Party. Upendra Kushwaha has taken a step further and is asking for 20 seats. Meanwhile, Jitan Ram Manjhi, the former CM of Bihar, has sought 35 seats for his newly formed party Hindustani Awami Morcha (HAM). BJP on the other hand, wants Manjhi to join the saffron party along with his supporters, which Manjhi has denied. He says that he can join BJP on the assurance that he will be nominated as the Chief Minister designate. This is not acceptable to BJP. Sources say that BJP has proposed to give 15 seats to Manjhi as per the laws of alliance. However, there has been no word from Manjhi on the said proposal.
