AJSU President Sudesh Mahto was supposed to meet the BJP's state and central leadership, including working chief Amit Shah, in Delhi on Thursday to finalise the seat sharing and names of the candidates.

Mahto lost the Assembly polls.In the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, BJP conceded the Giridih seat in favour of AJSU, which managed to win it.
