Keeping options open in case of the last-minute break-up, both the BJP and the JD(U) in Bihar have started preparing to contest all 40 Lok Sabha seats separately. "While discussing our future programme in Bihar, I had informed the national executive committee at its Surajkund meeting recently that taking into the account all possibilities, the state BJP is preparing to contest all 40 seats in next parliamentary elections," BJP's state president C P Thakur said. "One should always be prepared for any eventuality," he said. However, he categorically denied any chance of break-up in the BJP-JD(U) alliance in Bihar at this Juncture. "Our alliance with the JD(U) is intact," he said. When asked if the alliance is intact in Bihar why the BJP is preparing for all 40 seats, Thakur said, "The preparation is necessary also because the two parties may exchange a few seats just before the elections."
