Lalu has asked for time from Congress Prez's office. JD(U) and RJD announced they would continue efforts for an anti-BJP pact to fight the year-end Bihar polls, but failed to indicate whether they had reached common ground on two sticking points -- projection of Nitish Kumar as CM candidate of the proposed alliance and the broad contours of the seat-sharing formula. Samajawadi Party chief Mulayam Singh Yadav's intervention failed to end the uncertainty over the thorny issues.<br /><br />Lalu wants the seats to be shared on the basis of performance of the two parties in the 2014 Lok Sabha polls. That would give RJD a leg-up, as it had put up a relatively robust performance compared to JD(U) which fared badly in the polls, the first after Nitish parted ways with BJP. Nitish, on the other hand, wants the seat-sharing formula to be based on the performance in 2010 assembly polls which the JD(U)-BJP combine had virtually swept. <br /><br />For More information on this news visit : http://www.newsx.com/<br />Connect with us on Social platform at : http://www.facebook.com/newsxonline<br />Subscribe to our YouTube Channel : http://www.youtube.com/newsxlive
