Our senior leaders are discussing the matter and they will hopefully work out a seat sharing formula in a rational manner so that all the mahagathbandhan partners remain happy,” he remarks. Ranchi: Formed seven weeks ago, the mahagathbandhan (grand alliance) of opposition parties in Jharkhand is still struggling to work out a seat-sharing formula acceptable to major partners Congress JVM-P and RJD.
