Santosh Kumar Suman, national president of Hindustani Awam Morcha-Secular (HAM), advised his father and HAM patron Jitan Ram Manjhi to discuss Rajya Sabha seat aspirations within the NDA alliance's internal forums rather than publicly. This comes after Jitan Ram Manjhi publicly demanded a Rajya Sabha seat and criticized his son for not securing it. The situation highlights potential friction within Bihar's NDA coalition regarding alliance discipline and seat-sharing.
