After the massive defeat of the Grand Alliance in the Bihar Assembly elections (2025), a review meeting of RJD was held at the residence of Tejashwi Yadav on Monday (November 17, 2025). In this, a strategy was made for the future. RJD spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav told the media about what was decided in the meeting. He said that in the meeting held, Tejashwi Yadav has been elected as the leader of the legislative party.

Shakti Yadav said that all the RJD candidates were present in the meeting. There were also winning MLAs. First a meeting was held with the elected MLA. In this, everyone elected Tejashwi Yadav as the leader of RJD’s legislative party. In the review meeting, National President Lalu Yadav, Rabri Devi and senior leaders as well as Jagdanand Singh presented their views.

‘The mandate that came… is not being digested’

RJD spokesperson said that people also gave their opinion on this mandate. Because every person of Bihar was aware of the situation on the ground. There was a resentment against the government, but the way the mandate has come, it is not being digested.

In the meeting, Lalu Yadav gave freedom to Tejashwi Yadav to work independently. Said that he will take the party forward as a whole. Although Tejashwi Yadav said that if you want, you can choose someone else as leader, but no one was ready. Due to the opinion of all the people, he (Tejashwi) had to take the responsibility and was elected the leader of RJD legislative party.

Work will be done at booth and panchayat level

Further on the election results, Shakti Yadav said that this is machinery management mandate. Our review will run. Election Commission rules were flouted. Elections were going on and money was being sent to the account. This is the result of the machinery management that has taken place. We are not going to lose. We are talking on all points. Told the NDA that they are going to form the government, absolutely form the government and you should live up to the public sentiments. Regarding the future strategy, Shakti Yadav said that RJD will move forward to work at booth level and panchayat level.

RJD MLA Bhai Virendra said, “Tejashwi Yadav has been elected by the newly elected MLAs as the leader of the Legislative Assembly on behalf of the party. We will work on the guidelines given. There has been theft in EVMs. We have to fight against EVMs. We have won the elections because of what has happened with the ballot paper. We have lost in the EVMs only.”

Now only a few hours are left for the final results of Bihar Assembly elections and with the counting, the political atmosphere has become completely heated. The trends till 12 noon have made it clear that this time the contest seems to be one-sided.

According to the data till 12 noon, NDA is leading on 191 seats, which is much more than the absolute majority. In comparison, the Grand Alliance is ahead on only 48 seats, which presents a very disappointing picture for them. The final count of votes may change, but the difference is so big that its impact is likely to be visible on the final results as well.

Grand alliance’s increased concern

This trend is a matter of concern for the Grand Alliance. The Grand Alliance under the leadership of Tejashwi Yadav had campaigned vigorously raising issues like unemployment, inflation and corruption, but from the initial trends it seems that they could not get the expected support. If seen, the seats of the Grand Alliance this time are half of the 2020 elections.

How was the result in the last assembly elections?

In the last assembly elections, NDA crossed the magic majority mark of 122 and won a total of 125 seats. BJP had won 74 seats, JDU 43, VIP 4 and Hindustan Awam Morcha 4 seats.

Grand alliance was limited to so many seats

At the same time, the Grand Alliance contested the elections with full strength and won a total of 110 seats. In this, RJD won 75 seats, Congress 19, CPI-ML 12, while CPI and CPM won 2 seats each.

Apart from these, Asaduddin Owaisi’s AIMIM had registered a spectacular victory on 5 seats, while BSP was able to win on 1 seat. Chirag Paswan’s LJP, which had contested the last election separately from the NDA, was successful in winning only one seat.

Before the results of Bihar Assembly elections (2025) are announced, poster war has started in Bihar. Counting of votes is to take place tomorrow (November 14, 2025) but before that, different parties have started putting up posters in Patna. NDA seems to be getting majority in all the exit polls, meanwhile the opposition has put up a poster in Patna claiming to make Tejashwi Yadav the Chief Minister.

This poster has been put up by Akhilesh Yadav’s Samajwadi Party in front of the RJD office in Patna, in which it is written for Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, ‘Goodbye uncle’. This poster has been put up by former Bihar State Youth President of Samajwadi Party, Dharamveer Yadav.

Home Minister Amit Shah is also in this poster. His picture is with a buffalo. Nitish Kumar is shown sitting on a chair. The pictures of both have been made and used in the form of cartoons. It is written in bold letters – “Goodbye uncle”. There is a picture of Mulayam Singh and Lalu Yadav on the top right side of the poster. The picture of Akhilesh Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav is big.

What else was written on the poster?

Taking a dig at Amit Shah, it is written in the poster, “The public has to bear the trouble, the actions of ‘Shah’ are dishonest”, ‘E’ rules dishonestly by stealing votes.” Taking aim downwards in the poster, it is written, “When the public roars, the foundation of the palaces gets uprooted, the crown flies in the air on the strength of its breath, where is the power in “Shah” to block the path of public opinion, time turns wherever it wants. Yes, vacate the throne so that Tejasvi government comes.”

Let us tell you that on the other hand, a poster has also been put up by JDU for Nitish Kumar. It is written, “Tiger is still alive”. Responding to this poster, RJD has said that the real Tiger is Tejashwi Yadav.

After the completion of voting for Bihar Assembly elections, the counting of votes is now awaited. Earlier, a big controversy had arisen in Rohtas district regarding a truck loaded with empty boxes. Bihar’s opposition party Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has alleged that a truck loaded with EVMs entered the counting center of Sasaram without any information. RJD workers sat on strike regarding this.

Many questions have been raised by sharing a video from RJD’s official X account. It has been asked why the truck allegedly loaded with EVMs was entered into the counting center of Sasaram (Rohtas district) by the district administration without any prior information and transparency? Why were the truck drivers sent away without bringing them to light? Why was the CCTV camera feed closed here since 2 o’clock?

RJD made this appeal to the Election Commission

Regarding this, RJD has also tagged Bihar Election Commissioner and Election Commission and sought clarification. Also warned that if the truth is not revealed, thousands of people will reach the polling booth to stop the alleged ‘vote theft’.

What is the whole matter?

Actually, a ruckus broke out outside the strong room of EVM for the assembly elections in Rohtas. Here a truck loaded with an empty tin box reached the strong room premises, seeing which people started creating ruckus. Supporters of many candidates including RJD protested there.

DM and SP reached the spot

The market committee premises of the city police station area has been made the Vajra Grih of EVM. Seeing the seriousness of the matter, DM and SP of Rohtas also reached the spot. Many RJD candidates complained about the malfunctioning of the CCTV inside the strong room and sat on a dharna outside. Those who sat on strike included RJD candidate from Dinara, Rajesh Yadav; Sasaram candidate Satendra Sah and Nokha candidate Anita Chaudhary were included.

Rohtas SP Roshan Kumar has forcefully admitted that a truck laden with empty boxes had reached the premises. Meanwhile, District Election Officer cum DM has sought clarification from Chenari Assembly Election Officer cum ADM Rohtas Lalit Ranjan in this matter.

Before the results of Bihar Assembly Elections (2025), the exit poll has increased the tension of some people and happiness has increased for others. Amidst all this, everyone wants to know who can win from the seat from which Jan Suraj’s Sutradhar was talking about contesting?

Actually, Prashant Kishore had said that if he has to contest elections, he will contest from either Karmabhoomi or Janmabhoomi. He is originally from Rohtas district. He also went to his native village and voted for Karghar assembly seat. He could have contested from here but did not contest the elections. On the other hand, there was talk of fighting from Raghopur also.

BSP can win from Karghar seat

Amidst all this, who can win in Karghar, the exit poll of journalists has revealed a shocking thing. BSP candidate Uday Pratap Singh can win from Karghar seat. This means that the candidate of NDA or Grand Alliance may have to face defeat. Both Congress candidate Santosh Mishra and JDU candidate Vashishtha Singh may lose from the Grand Alliance.

Currently, Santosh Mishra of Congress is the only MLA from Karghar seat. It is from here that Ritesh Pandey is fighting with Jan Suraj. Both of them belong to Brahmin caste and the vote was divided between them. This seat has the highest number of Brahmin voters after Kurmi. This is the reason why Santosh Mishra may suffer loss.

Who can win how many of the 7 seats in Rohtas?

• RJD- 3 seats (Sasaram, Nokha and Dinara)
• BSP- 1 seat (Karghar)
• Congress- 1 seat (Chenari)
• Tough contest: 2 seats (Karakat and Dehri)

List of total seven seats of Rohtas district

• Sasaram
• Nokha
• Dinara
• Kargahar
• karakat
• Chenari
• Dehri

RJD has made Satyendra Shah its candidate from Sasaram. They can win. RJD has given ticket to Anita Chaudhary from Nokha who can win. In front of him is Nagendra Chandravanshi from JDU. Whereas RJD can win from Dinara seat. RJD has made Rajesh Yadav its candidate from here. from Chenari seat There is a contest between Mangal Ram of Congress and Murari Prasad Gautam from Chirag Paswan’s party LJPR.

Also read- Exit Poll: Tejashwi Yadav’s ‘prediction’ amid exit poll, how many seats will the Grand Alliance win?

After the end of Bihar Assembly elections (2025), NDA government is seen forming in all the exit polls. Meanwhile, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav has claimed that the Grand Alliance is going to get more than 160 seats. He said that before the counting of votes, we have got a better response than what Janata Dal got in 1995. Tejashwi Yadav was holding a press conference on Wednesday (November 12, 2025). Said this during this time.

Tejashwi Yadav said, “Yesterday, people were standing in the queue for voting from 6 o’clock till 7 o’clock… People kept standing and exit polls started coming. We are not in all. Neither live in happiness nor in misunderstanding. This survey has been conducted only psychologically under the pressure of all the officials who are engaged in the elections…” Tejashwi Yadav is RJD candidate from Raghopur.

Told the media persons present at the press conference, “Earlier also you people used to show in the survey which face of the Chief Minister is preferred by the people in Bihar… So Nitish Kumar could not get more than 16, 17 or 18 percent. There was not even an announcement in the NDA this time as to who will be the official face of the CM. This is the same media who had shown in the survey that Islamabad, Lahore and Karachi have been captured in Pakistan.”

Results on 14th…swearing in on 18th

On the exit poll, Tejashwi Yadav said, “We had said earlier also that results will be declared on 14th and swearing in will take place on 18th. This is definitely going to happen… BJP and NDA are losing their sweat. They are nervous and restless.”

Vote taken to replace Nitish Kumar

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav said that if we compare the voting of 2020 with this time, then 72 lakh people have voted more this time. This is a very big figure. If we distribute 72 lakh in 243 assemblies, then around 29,500 votes were cast in each assembly. That means these votes have not been cast to save Nitish Kumar, these have been cast to change the government. The government is going to change. These 72 lakh people have voted for change and transformation.

Tejashwi said, “We, you and all the people of Bihar know the strategy of the administration to put pressure on the people… Survey has been conducted and every effort will be made to slow down the counting. The entire process of counting will be slowed down… No action will be taken where bomb blasts and other incidents have taken place, but to kill democracy, these people will get the army to conduct flag marches in all the districts of Bihar so that people can be created panic… Grand alliance will register a huge victory.” Going…” He said, “Last time there was a difference of only 12 thousand votes. This time we are going for a clean sweep.”
