Congress Urged to be Realistic in Bihar Seat Talks
Political parties in Bihar are figuring out how to divide the seats for the upcoming election.
A smaller party wants the Congress, another party, to be smart about how many seats they try to win.

They're also hoping to contest more seats themselves this time.
