BJP-led NDA mocked Mahagathbandhan over its seat-sharing deadlock before Bihar polls. LJP leader Chirag Paswan said, "If people of Mahagathbandhan are in this delusion that they can field multiple candidates from same seat...then they should know there's no such thing as a 'friendly fight'." His remark came after RJD named 143 candidates, several contesting against its I.N.D.I.A. bloc.
