Parties and Alliances

  National Democratic Alliance

During the month of September, the NDA confirmed an alliance between BJP, AD(S) and the NISHAD Party.[8][9] During the month of August, the NDA held talks with parties like JD(U), Ham(S)[10] and others, however the seat sharing talks fell apart later. In October, there were major restructuring efforts by the alliance with new faces and revamp of parties in an effort to battle anti-incumbency. In the first 2 weeks of December, the alliance launched it campaign for the election.[11] On the 13th of Jan the national democratic alliance sealed their seat sharing pact with NISHAD Party getting 13-17 and Apna Dal getting 10-14 and BJP competing in the remaining seats.
