In Bihar, Congress leaders suggested the party could secure 10- 12 seats out of the total 40 by uniting with Left parties and concertedly demanding 25 seats. The leaders expressed their amenability to form an alliance and acclimate seat allocations grounded on the preferences of other implicit abettors like JD( U) and RJD.

Uttar Pradesh, a pivotal state, holds a aggregate of 80 Lok Sabha seats. In West Bengal, Congress leaders proposed demanding six seats and expressed sanguinity about securing at least four from the Trinamool Congress( TMC). before reports had indicated that the TMC had offered only two Lok Sabha seats to Congress.
