Poll strategist Prashant Kishor has ruled out any alliance between his Jan Suraaj Party and the Chirag Paswan-led Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) for the upcoming Bihar election. Amid the buzz that the two parties may join hands for the two-phase state polls, Kishor said Jan Suraaj will contest alone and that its alliance is "with the people".

"There is a fight going on to loot Bihar. This is not a fight for seats… Every party wants to get more seats so that they can loot Bihar more in the future. We do not have any alliance. Our alliance is with the people," he said, addressing rumours of a tie-up.

Speculation about a possible alliance between Jan Suraaj and the Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) played out against the backdrop of hard bargaining by Paswan as NDA allies discuss seat-sharing.
