In the lead-up to the 2024 Lok Sabha elections, the Congress and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) have been engaged in discussions over seat-sharing arrangements in Bihar. Congress leader Tariq Anwar mentioned, "Talks are going on. We've agreed on most of the seats. There are differences regarding 1-2 seats," specifically mentioning a dispute over the Katihar seat. RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav emphasized, "No Tensions Between Us," stating that an understanding over seat-sharing has been reached, confirmed during a meeting of the INDIA bloc attended by Yadav for the #LokSabhaElections2024. The talks aimed to resolve differences over five specific seats: Aurangabad, Begusarai, Katihar, Purnia, and Siwan. Sources suggest that the RJD has offered Congress nine seats in Bihar but may result in Congress losing Purnia and Supaul, possibly gaining Aurangabad instead. Additionally, the RJD seeks two seats in Jharkhand. Bihar Congress chief Akhilesh Prasad Singh hinted at ongoing discussions and the possibility of a meeting to finalize the arrangements, specifically the contentious Purnea seat.
