With only 26 hours left to file nominations for assembly seats in Bihar going to polls in phase 1, the Mahagathbandhan is yet to announce its seat-sharing arrangement.

Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and party leader Rahul Gandhi held seat-sharing talks with the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD). Congress leaders spoke to RJD chief Lalu Yadav.

During the meeting, the former Bihar CM told Kharge and Rahul Gandhi that other allies need to be accommodated in the alliance, which he said, is more important.
