Upendra Kushwaha Defends Seat Allocation, Welcomes Pawan Singh, Calls For Strong NDA Unity In Bihar

National News:  Upendra Kushwaha, chief of Rashtriya Lok Morcha, appeared at “Panchayat Aajtak-Bihar” in Patna and shared his views on seat distribution within the NDA. His party has been allocated six seats for the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections. Although he earlier expected more, he acknowledged that in politics compromises are part of reality. He told his workers not to remain upset but instead work hard for victory.

According to him, seat sharing is always a matter of negotiation and balance. He stressed that no coalition partner gets everything it desires. Unity, he said, is the main key to success.

No Anger Over Six Seats

Kushwaha admitted he initially hoped for 24 seats, but accepted six with a calm approach. He explained that internal fights only harm alliances and give the opposition strength. He appealed to his party members to remain disciplined and focused. Political partnerships, he added, always involve give-and-take, so dissatisfaction should not block progress. He promised that his loyalty to NDA is unquestionable. He emphasized that his party will put full strength into campaigning. He told everyone to look forward instead of looking back.

Jealousy Claims Within The Alliance

When asked about leaders who seemed unhappy with him, Kushwaha brushed off the issue. He said it was not a personal conflict but jealousy. Some NDA leaders, he explained, dislike his habit of speaking openly in meetings. According to him, transparency is necessary even if it irritates a few people.

He called upon all parties to set aside personal egos and prioritize the election. Differences, he said, are natural in a big coalition. What matters most is teamwork in crucial elections. He underlined that the goal should remain collective victory.

BJP’s Inclusion Of Pawan Singh

Kushwaha also discussed Bhojpuri actor-singer Pawan Singh joining BJP. He revealed that BJP leaders had consulted him before finalizing the decision. They even suggested Singh might apologize for past remarks, but Kushwaha assured them an apology was unnecessary. He welcomed Singh’s induction, saying it would broaden NDA’s reach across Bihar. He noted that the decision shows inclusiveness and collective spirit. Singh’s presence, according to him, strengthens the alliance’s public image. He said personal disputes should never block political unity. His message was to move forward together with confidence.

Facing RJD On Tough Seats

Out of the six seats given to his party, five were earlier won by RJD. Kushwaha acknowledged that these are difficult contests but said challenges can become opportunities. He reminded everyone that in Shahabad and Magadh, NDA was nearly wiped out earlier.

His party’s contest in those regions can help NDA regain strength. He expressed confidence that voters are happy with development under NDA governments. He said the public mood is in favor of the alliance. He promised to campaign with full energy and determination. He assured his workers that results will surprise critics.

Learning Lessons From Past Elections

Kushwaha pointed out that in past elections, his stand had cost NDA some seats. At that time, he had worked against the alliance in certain areas, leading to defeats. But today, he declared himself firmly committed to NDA. He reminded everyone that every seat in Bihar belongs to the whole alliance, whether BJP, JD(U), or his party contests it. He urged people to see NDA as one family rather than separate groups. This vision, he explained, is vital for victory. He promised not to repeat past mistakes again. He described elections as a joint responsibility.

NDA’s Real Strength Is Unity

In closing, Kushwaha said NDA’s real power is in coordination and discipline. He explained that whether his party gets six or sixty seats does not matter, because only unity ensures victory. He praised Nitish Kumar’s leadership, BJP’s organization, and his own party’s grassroots strength.

Together, he said, the alliance can shape Bihar’s future. He added that with Prime Minister Modi’s active involvement, NDA has a strong edge. He appealed to both workers and voters to focus on unity and development. He warned against divisions created by jealousy. His final call was for collective strength and determination.
