Finalize seat-sharing deal by October 14, JMM tells RJD

Jharkhand Mukti Morcha has issued a three-day ultimatum to its INDIA bloc ally RJD to finalize seat-sharing for the Bihar assembly elections. JMM seeks a respectable number of seats, citing past reciprocation in Jharkhand. The party’s central committee will decide on contesting independently if a deal isn’t reached by October 15.
