Tejashwi Yadav has openly expressed his views on many issues including the results of Bihar Assembly elections. Discussing the reasons for RJD’s defeat in the elections, Tejashwi Yadav said that NDA has won in the state but democracy has lost.

He alleged that there is a double engine government but could not even get a sugar mill started. While claiming, he also said that unemployment was the biggest issue. People were angry towards the government. He did not want the NDA government to be formed again.

He claimed that people wanted a Bihar where there would be a government with education, earning, medicine, irrigation, hearing and action. Democracy has lost and machinery has won. They did not leave anything in this election. The vision we had. The government implemented all those things. For 20 years he was not able to remember that his pension had to be increased by Rs 400. When we asked, they implemented it.

No one is digesting our defeat – Tejashwi Yadav

During an interview with Kapil Sibal, Tejashwi Yadav was asked that RJD had won 75 seats in 2020 but why only 25 seats this time? On this he said, “Nobody is digesting this thing.” Especially if we talk to the people of Bihar, they too are not able to digest this. Even the MLAs of BJP, JDU or the ruling party who won the elections are not believing. 10 days before the election code of conduct, Rs 10,000 each were distributed. However, about Rs 40 thousand crores were distributed directly across Bihar in different schemes. You can say that bribe has been given.

Unemployment was the real issue in the entire election- Tejashwi Yadav

The former Deputy CM of Bihar further said, “You mentioned Bihar. Bihar is the poorest state, there is no industry and factory here. Unemployment and migration is highest. If we talk about education and health, it is one of the lagging states but Bihar also has the specialty that it is the youngest state in the country. Almost 60 percent are youth. The real issue of Bihar which was there in the entire election was that of unemployment. Be it paper leak, unemployment, corruption, quality of education, people go out of Bihar for three reasons the most, that is education, earning and medicine.

‘People supported us enthusiastically’

He also said, “Nitish Kumar ji ruled for 20 years. Narendra Modi ji has been the Prime Minister for 10-11 years. There is a double engine government but could not even start a sugar mill. These people never spoke anything positive about eliminating unemployment, providing employment, or anything positive. First of all in 2020, we had announced that if we become the Chief Minister, we will announce employment to 10 lakh youth in the first cabinet meeting. People supported us enthusiastically. The difference between our alliance and theirs was only 12 thousand votes. Talking about seats, the difference was only 12-14 seats. We have lost many seats by less than 1000 votes.

Our vote percentage has increased – Tejashwi Yadav

The RJD leader said, “While in power with Nitish Kumar, we provided around 5 lakh jobs. The paper was leaked after our withdrawal. Unemployment was the biggest issue. People were angry towards the government. He did not want the NDA government to be formed again. He wanted to create a new Bihar. If you see the data, our vote percentage has increased.

There is no point in elections – Tejashwi Yadav

He further said, “Everyone wanted change. EVM did not just want change, the wallet wanted change. The Election Commission was in a dishonest mood. An amendment was also made in the bill that no action can be taken against the Election Commission. Whatever doubts we had, the Election Commission did not clarify them. All the complaints we had were not heard. Given this situation, elections have no meaning left. Everything is fixed.

There was a lot of uproar in the Lok Sabha on Monday (December 01, 2025) regarding SIR. In view of the uproar by the opposition, the proceedings of the Lok Sabha have been adjourned till Tuesday (December 02, 202). In fact, the opposition was continuously demanding a debate on the issue of SIR. Now reaction has come from NDA’s allies on SIR.

Union Minister Chirag Paswan said, “You see the way in the last session, the way the entire House was washed out on one issue of SIR. The same effect is being seen in this session too. The government is fully prepared to discuss whatever they want to discuss. We will definitely discuss every topic, but it is the responsibility of the opposition to maintain the dignity of the House and allow the session to continue.”

LJP (Ram Vilas) MP Arun Bharti said, “Policies are made here for the country. All citizens have expectations that the Parliament will function and policies will be made in the interest of the country…” MP Shambhavi Choudhary said, “This is the biggest temple of democracy and people’s representatives come here by electing them to make policies for the country and to raise the voice of their region. Plans are made here…this is a place to discuss…”

Dilip Jaiswal’s attack on Rahul Gandhi

On this entire issue, Bihar BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal said that more than seven crore voters of Bihar rejected the SIR. The vote theft campaign undertaken by Rahul Gandhi in the name of SIR in Bihar sent a message across the country that Rahul Gandhi is involved in spreading rumours. Rahul Gandhi should think that purification of voter list is necessary. The names of those who have died should be removed. Those who are voters from two places, their names should be removed from one place.

Attacking the opposition, JDU’s working president Sanjay Jha said, “We had gone to Bihar elections on the issue of SIR. Where did people go to make us sit? SIR took place in the entire Bihar. The Election Commission kept saying that if anyone’s name has been removed from the voter list, then let us know. No party went with a complaint. After this Bihar elections were held. Before the elections, there was a yatra in Bihar in the name of SIR. After that, what happened in the elections is in front of everyone.”

National President of Samajwadi Party and former Chief Minister Akhilesh Yadav has appealed to all the opposition parties and even all the allies of NDA to unite and expose the grand conspiracy of BJP to cut votes. SP Chief said that BJP will first eliminate those parties which are considering BJP as their allies. That is why we appeal to every countryman to leave all work and stop the SIR fraud.

SP Chief Akhilesh Yadav said that this is a fraud on democracy. The public should be aware, today votes are being deducted, tomorrow names will be deducted from fields, land, houses, ration, caste, reservation and then the matter will reach the accounts and lockers of the middle class. This is a huge conspiracy against the countrymen which will lead to a situation worse than the slavery of the British. This is the time to wake up and save each and every vote.

Former CM Akhilesh Yadav has said that such complaints have been received that the counting forms of voters are being submitted in the third option by putting pressure on BLOs by the District Officer/District Election Officer, Additional District Magistrate (Election), SDM (ERO) Supervisor. By submitting the voters who fulfill the standards of first option and second option in the third option by the BLO, when the voter list (draft roll) is published on December 9, 2025, notices will be sent to several crore voters by ERO and documents will be asked from them in the name of investigation. In such a situation, the names of most of the voters will be deleted in the final voter list of 7 February 2026.

Save the country from the blatant looting of BJP members and their associates- Akhilesh

Akhilesh Yadav has demanded that in view of all the problems related to filling the counting form, the publication of the draft roll (voter list) should be extended by 3 months on December 9, 2025 and the counting form should be submitted afresh as per the rules. Akhilesh Yadav has said that BJP and its cronies and the triumvirate of BJP government and some corrupt people of the Election Commission are hijacking the entire electoral system. Let us all together save the country from the blatant looting of those BJP members and their anti-family associates. Let us tell you that SubhaSP, Nishad Party, Apna Dal (S) are constituent parties in Bharatiya Janata Party led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) in UP.

A dinner meeting was organized for the migrant leaders engaged in Bihar elections at the residence of BJP President JP Nadda. In this meeting, all the leaders were thanked for their contribution in Bihar elections. Apart from BJP President JP Nadda, Home Minister Amit Shah, National Organization General Secretary BL Santosh and all the leaders related to Bihar elections were present in the meeting.

Sources said that the Home Minister has said in this meeting that the historic victory of NDA in Bihar Assembly elections is not just a victory of one state but of the whole of India. He said that this victory of Bihar is the victory of the resolve of every Indian against those infiltrators who challenge the security and social structure of the country.

‘All five parties fought like five Pandavas’
The Home Minister further said that under the leadership of Modi ji, the unwavering love and trust of the people has continuously strengthened. The people of Bihar have wholeheartedly supported the pairing of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Nitish Kumar. He called it the result of NDA’s unity, collective power and the five parties fighting together like the five Pandavas.

The mantra of ‘wherever there is less, there is we’
According to sources, the Home Minister told the leaders that all the leaders have done the culmination of their hard work. Even 1 percent contribution in elections is big, but no leader should think that this victory has been achieved because of him because it brings pride. Your responsibility was not to contest elections but to play a role wherever there was less. We all have to be prepared for the battle of Bengal ahead. Always be in worker mode, duty can be imposed anywhere.

‘Now everyone has to be ready for Bengal’
The upcoming battle of Bengal was also discussed in the meeting. The Home Minister said that now everyone has to be ready for Bengal and should always be in worker mode because duty can be imposed anywhere at any time. All the BJP leaders invited to the dinner at JP Nadda’s house were gifted the famous Makhana of Mithila, Tilakut of Gaya and shawl decorated with Madhubani painting.

While the results of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 have revealed the fate of Chirag Paswan, on the other hand it has forced the political legacy of Lalu family and especially Tejashwi Yadav to think afresh. Since 2005, RJD has faced defeat in elections continuously.

C Voter founder Yashwant Deshmukh spoke to a channel regarding the results of Bihar elections. Regarding the data of the survey conducted after the elections, he said that he (Tejashwi Yadav) still remains popular among the young male voters and the memory of Jungle Raj is negligible among the youth.

Fear of Jungle Raj among women voters
According to the latest survey of C Voter, among the boys aged 18 to 24 years, 41 percent voted for NDA, while 43 percent voted for Grand Alliance and 16 percent voted for others. Among female voters aged 18 to 24 years, 50 percent voted for the NDA while 33 percent voted for the Grand Alliance and 17 percent voted for others.

What was said about MY equation?
Regarding RJD’s MY (Muslim-Yadav) equation, he said that Tejashwi is running with the inherited MY equation, but this time he has not got the entire vote of Y i.e. Yadavs. He told that the direct inclination of young women voters has been towards Nitish Kumar, this was clearly visible in the elections.

RJD will have to make a new strategy
He said that RJD will have to think about all these things and prepare its strategy afresh. NDA has got the votes of women voters because of Nitish Kumar and somewhere there is some kind of fear among them regarding RJD. He told that we talked to 1 lakh voters in the whole year and after the post poll, we again reached among the voters and talked to them.

India AQI: Neither Delhi, nor Ghaziabad, nor Noida, this place in UP broke the record, most polluted, read the full list

Jan Suraj founder Prashant Kishore broke his silence on not opening his party’s account in Bihar elections and claimed that the elections were ‘rigged’. However, he admitted that at this time he had no evidence to support this allegation.

Prashant Kishor described Jan Suraj’s defeat as a ‘crushing’ defeat, but also stressed that the impact of his campaign was visible at the grassroots level. He claimed that the voting trends were not matching with the feedback his team received during the months-long Jan Suraj Yatra. He said he believed something went wrong.

‘Some unstoppable forces were at play’
Speaking to India Today TV on Sunday (November 23), Prashant Kishor said that some unstoppable forces were at play, parties which people hardly knew got lakhs of votes. Some people are saying that EVMs were tampered. This is something that people accuse after losing. I don’t have any proof, but a lot of things don’t match. Prima facie it seems something has gone wrong, but we don’t know what.

NDA government accused of distributing money
Apart from this, the founder of Jan Suraj also accused the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) of distributing money to thousands of women voters in Bihar to manipulate the election results. Kishore said, “From the day of announcement of the elections till the day of voting, the women were given Rs 10,000. Even this amount was not enough for their promise. They were told that they would get a total of Rs 2 lakh and this Rs 10,000 was just the first instalment.

‘Fear of return of Lalu’s jungle raj’
Prashant Kishore further said that another factor that was working most against Jan Suraj was the fear of the return of Lalu’s jungle raj. By the last phase of the campaign, many voters had assumed that Jan Suraj was in no position to win. Their concern was simple, if they voted for us and we did not win, it could pave the way for the return of Lalu’s jungle raj. This fear certainly turned some people away.

Chandigarh Bill: Home Ministry broke silence on the bill related to Chandigarh! Said- ‘No intention of bringing the bill in the winter session of Parliament’

After the formation of NDA government in Bihar, apart from Nitish Kumar, 26 ministers took oath last Thursday. Now after searching the horoscopes of all these ministers, RJD is accusing them of nepotism. In such a situation, when Union Minister Giriraj Singh came before the media on Friday (November 21, 2025), he was questioned on this.

Speaking to the media in Patna, Giriraj Singh said on this, “Lalu Yadav ji cannot respect his family… If he cannot respect his own daughter-in-law, then how will the people of the state respect him? In this, his party has been ruined. Be it Rahul Gandhi or Tejashwi, this should be understood. The manner in which Lalu ji’s daughter and daughter-in-law have accused him of misbehavior… alleging assault, is unfortunate. The people of Bihar have been insulted by this.”

There will be SIR in Bengal: Giriraj Singh

On the other hand, after the Bihar Assembly elections are over, the Election Commission is now busy in conducting Voter Revision (SIR) in 12 states of the country. Even though the preliminary process has started from the Election Commission, there is strong opposition to it. Elections are to be held in West Bengal in 2026. Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee is also strongly opposing the SIR. On this, BJP leader and Union Minister Giriraj Singh replied bluntly and said that there will be SIR in Bengal.

Giriraj Singh said that Jungle Raj will be ended in West Bengal. Bangladeshi and Rohingya Muslims will be expelled from Bengal. He said, “Mamata Didi will not be able to save us now, we will not let Bengal become Bangladesh.” Let us tell you that the preliminary process of SIR has started in West Bengal. There has been a stir regarding this. Many infiltrators from Bangladesh on the border area are now returning to their country due to fear of SIR, while TMC leaders are also protesting and creating ruckus at various places. In such a situation, now Giriraj Singh has made it clear in a scathing attack that there will be SIR in Bengal under any circumstances.

The stir has once again increased in the politics of Bihar. This time there are indications of a major political upheaval from within the Grand Alliance. Saharsa MLA and Indian Inclusive Party (IIP) President IP Gupta has openly said that he has received a call from NDA and he is ready to join NDA, but with an important condition. This statement of Gupta seems to further challenge the already weak position of the Grand Alliance.

IP Gupta said that he is ready to join NDA, but his clear condition is that Tanti-Tatva community should be included in SC category. He says that only the Central Government can take this decision and if his demand is accepted then he will join the NDA without any delay. He told that the population of Tanti-Tatva community in Bihar is between 80 lakh to 1 crore, but they have not got proper representation.

IP Gupta may join NDA

The IIP chief claimed that during the assembly elections, his party transferred its entire vote to the Grand Alliance constituents. According to him, NDA knows the power of this vote bank and that is why he is getting the offer to join NDA. IP Gupta also said that Tanti community is already economically and socially backward, hence it is necessary to include it in SC category.

Grand alliance should review its defeat – IP Gupta

Commenting on the crushing defeat of the Grand Alliance, IP Gupta said that the alliance parties should sit down and review where the mistakes happened. He clearly said that there is a need to understand and introspect on the message given by the public.

Will apologize before joining NDA

IP Gupta also announced that if NDA accepts his condition, he will publicly apologize to the voters and parties of the Grand Alliance before joining the NDA. He says that even after joining NDA, he will continue to work for the Tanti-Tatva community and the voters of his areas.

This statement can pave the way for a major political change in the politics of Bihar in the coming days. This is a challenge for the Grand Alliance, while it is a big opportunity for the NDA.

NDA got a landslide victory in Bihar Assembly elections and Nitish Kumar took oath as CM for the 10th time. Meanwhile, a big statement came from Congress leader and Jharkhand government minister Irfan Ansari on the defeat of the Grand Alliance in Bihar. He said that he is still in shock after the results of Bihar.

Irfan Ansari, who reached Delhi to meet senior Congress leaders, spoke to news agency IANS. During this he said that to defeat NDA we will have to unite honestly. There are many tricksters in BJP. We saw this in Bihar elections.

‘Such a big victory is impossible’- Irfan Ansari

Irfan Ansari said that NDA won 202 seats in Bihar elections, how can this happen? We are still in shock as to how this could happen. This is impossible.

‘Ansari community should not fall prey to Asaduddin Owaisi’- Irfan Ansari

Jharkhand government minister Irfan Ansari further said that neither is there any wave nor do the people want you, despite this you are getting so many seats. We (opposition parties) will have to fight the elections together. I have met Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge and he has given me the task to ensure that our youth (belonging to Ansari community) in Jharkhand do not fall prey to Asaduddin Owaisi. I have been given the responsibility to fix them. They have been asked to develop them. We are people who take everyone along.

Irfan Ansari does not know Imran Masood

At the same time, when Irfan Ansari was asked a question on Imran Masood’s statement, the Congress minister said, “I come from Jharkhand, I do not know Imran Masood.”

Allegation of scam again in Bihar elections

Jharkhand minister said that he has to give a report regarding Bihar elections. EVMs have been tampered with, that is why we have lost Bihar elections. How can 6 ministers get the same vote? When we announced the Chief Minister’s face, a face belonging to the Mallah community was put forward for the Deputy Chief Minister. If a face belonging to minority community had also been declared, the result would have been better. There was anger among the public about this, people asked me questions. Owaisi has taken full advantage of this.

Nitish Kumar, who has been the Chief Minister for the longest time in Bihar, took the oath of office and secrecy for the tenth time on Thursday (20 November 2025). 10 new faces along with old experienced leaders have been included in the 26-member cabinet of the new government, in which special attention has been paid to ethnic and regional balance. Many senior ministers of JDU and BJP were given a second chance in the new government.

10 MLAs became ministers for the first time

Of the 26 members of the Council of Ministers, 10 have become ministers for the first time. Senior BJP leaders Samrat Chaudhary and Vijay Kumar Sinha, who were Deputy Chief Ministers in the previous government, have been retained in Nitish Kumar’s cabinet. At the same time, JDU has also retained its old ministers Bijendra Prasad Yadav, Vijay Kumar Chaudhary and Shravan Kumar in the cabinet.

These leaders including Mangal Pandey became ministers again

BJP has again included its former ministers Mangal Pandey, Surendra Prasad Mehta and Nitin Navin in the cabinet. Bihar BJP President Dilip Jaiswal has also returned to the cabinet. Another minister Narayan Prasad has also returned. Jaiswal and Narayan Prasad lost their posts due to Nitish’s sudden separation from NDA in the year 2022 and even when JDU returned to NDA last time, they did not get a place in the cabinet.

Message from Nitish cabinet to Yadav and EBC?

Among other NDA allies, HAM (Secular) has again made Santosh Kumar Suman, son of former Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi, as its minister. The new faces include BJP MLA from Jamui and former shooting player Shreyasi Singh, Aurai MLA and Rama Nishad, daughter-in-law of former Union Minister Jai Narayan Nishad. These are being seen as steps to increase the party’s reach towards the EBC seafarers community.

Deepak Prakash, son of RLM chief Upendra Kushwaha, has also got a place in the cabinet, although he is not an MLA. It is expected that Deepak can be sent to the Legislative Council within six months. Senior BJP leader Ram Kripal Yadav has also returned to the cabinet. He defeated RJD’s Ritlal Yadav from Danapur assembly seat.

Sanjay Kumar Singh and Sanjay Kumar from LJP (Ram Vilas) have been given ministerial posts. There are three women ministers in the cabinet, including JDU’s Lacey Singh and first-time ministers Shreyasi Singh and Rama Nishad. Jama Khan is the only Muslim minister. Political analysts say that the composition of the cabinet clearly reflects Nitish Kumar’s efforts to maintain social balance.

NDA’s caste equation

Of the total 27 members, eight are from upper caste, five from Dalit, one from Muslim and 13 from OBC/EBC categories. On party basis, BJP has got 14, JDU has got 8, LJP (Ram Vilas) has got 2, while HAM and RLM have got one ministerial post each. Former ministers Nitish Mishra, Jeevesh Mishra and Sanjay Saraogi have not got a place in the new cabinet. The maximum limit of the state cabinet is 36 members including the Chief Minister.
