Prior to Bihar Assembly Elections 2025, the HAM party has demanded at least 20 seats from the NDA to increase its political strength. Jitan Ram Manjhi wants the party to become a recognized party and also get representation in the Rajya Sabha.
Patna: The political activism of Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) or ‘Ham’ party is increasing for Bihar assembly elections 2025. The party’s patron and Union Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi has demanded at least 20 seats for its party from the NDA alliance. This demand is an important part of the party’s exercise to become a recognized party.
At least 20 seats are required, only then you will get recognition
According to Jitan Ram Manjhi, it is necessary to win six percent vote percentage and seven to eight seats to become a recognized party. For this, it is important that the ‘Ham’ party contest and win at least 20 seats so that the political status of the party can be strengthened.
4 seats were received in 2020, now the scope has to be increased
In the last assembly election, ‘HAM’ got four seats in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, out of which 3 seats were from Magadh region. This time Manjhi is trying to spread his party’s strength to other districts of Bihar as well. This political demand is also intensifying the seat sharing within the NDA.
Representative also demands in Rajya Sabha
Manjhi has also demanded several times to send a representative of his party to the Rajya Sabha. He says that until the party is given the status of a recognized party, they also want to ensure representation in the Upper House of Parliament. Political experts say that Manjhi’s demand will be a big challenge for the NDA alliance. The seat -sharing between BJP and JDU is already complicated, so the demand for 20 seats of ‘HAM’ may affect the equation of the alliance.
