Jitan Ram Manjhi's Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) insists on contesting Gaya Lok Sabha seat, held by JD(U), despite reports of a seat-sharing formula within the NDA, suggesting HAM is likely to receive only one of Bihar's 40 constituencies. Manjhi's son, Santosh Suman, a minister in the Nitish Kumar cabinet, made the statement, emphasizing HAM's loyalty to NDA and PM Modi.
