New Delhi: BJP national president JP Nadda is to meet top party leaders from Bihar on Wednesday at 2 pm over the strategy for the forthcoming assembly elections and to discuss seat-sharing.

Besides, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister and BJP leader, Sushil Kumar Modi left Patna for Delhi to attend the meeting. While, the state Health Minister, Mangal Pandey, was also seen at the Patna airport earlier on Wednesday where he had arrived to catch a flight reach the national capital.
The meeting has been called as confusion exists in the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) over seat-sharing.
While the BJP had earlier said that it will fight the elections under the leadership of Janata Dal (United) leader and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, the Lok Janshakti Party (LJP), another NDA ally, has been demanding a larger number of seats.
Further, in a fresh development in the poll-bound state, Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP) national general secretary Anand Madhav resigned from the party. Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav had earlier on Tuesday met Anand Madhav. The RLSP leader's resignation came after this meeting.
Meanwhile, the Congress had also called its Bihar unit chief Madan Mohan Jha and CLP leader Sadanand Singh to Delhi on Wednesday, amid seat-sharing discussions with the RJD and other allies.
The RJD-Congress-Left alliance is holding final rounds of seat-sharing talks for the Bihar assembly elections and an announcement is likely to be made later this week.
Bihar assembly elections will be held in three phases -- October 28, November 3, and 7 and the counting of votes will take place on November 10.
