LJP and RLSP, two key constituents of the BJP-led NDA today demanded that the seat-sharing arrangement for the upcoming Bihar polls be done within a week and suggested that the BJP contest 101 seats and leave the remaining 142 seats to its allies. LJP's Bihar unit President Pashupati Paras and his Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) counterpart Arun Kumar made the demand at a joint press conference in Patna.<br/><br/>The two leaders said it is necessary to draw up an early seat-sharing pact among the NDA partners so that candidates get sufficient time to prepare for the polls. The two leaders also asked BJP to change the slogan for the state polls, due later this year, from 'Abki Bar BJP sarkar' to 'Abki Bar NDA sarkar' so that the message can be taken to all the workers of the coalition partners. Arun Kumar and Pashupati Kumar Paras said that while there was no doubt that the Bihar polls would be fought under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi , the slogan in the name of NDA would enthuse workers of all parties.
