After BJP's inability to score a decisive victory over Congress
in the last round of assembly elections where it lost poll battles in Rajasthan and Delhi, JD(U) and BJD are hoping to press hard for increasing their share of seats for the Lok Sabha polls.
In both states BJP and its allies are in government, making the stakes for each party high. In Orissa, out of the 21 Lok Sabha seats, BJD fights 11 and BJP 9, with the ratio remaining the same as far as the 147 assembly seats are concerned. BJD is looking at taking its share to 110 from the present 80 and to 15 from the present 11 for the Lok Sabha seat share. Of the 40 LS seats in Bihar, BJP has 14 seats in its share while the rest 26 are fought by JD(U).
