BJP President Amit Shah will meet his party's Bihar allies today in New Delhi to finalise the seat-sharing for upcoming elections in the state.

Lok Janshakti Party Presidents Ram Vilas Paswan and Rashtriya Lok Samata Party Chief Upendra Kushwaha, besides Hindustani Awam Morcha (Secular) chief Jitan Ram Manjhi are likely to attend the meeting.

Paswan and Kushwaha had earlier met the BJP chief, but they have not been offered any concrete proposal so far.

Kushwaha had asked the BJP to contest 102 seats as it had contested in 2010 and leave 141 others to its allies.

Janata Dal United (JD(U)), BJP's partner in the last election before they split in 2013, had then fought 141 seats.
