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.”

Before assembly elections are to be held in Bihar, Lalu family has suffered a setback in the IRCTC scam case. On Monday (October 13, 2025), Rouse Avenue Court has framed charges against all the accused including Lalu Yadav and Tejashwi Yadav. Now a case will be filed against these people in this case. In such a situation, the tension of Lalu family has increased amid the elections. Now the first reaction has come from RJD on this.

Party’s chief spokesperson Shakti Singh Yadav said, “The pot of sins of BJP and NDA is now full. The Lalu family is being harassed and destroyed by misusing the agency. The case which was closed is being forcefully opened and presented in the court.

‘BJP wants to steal votes’

Shakti Yadav said that elections are round the corner, hence BJP is scared and wants to come to power in Bihar at any cost. BJP wants to steal votes. The people of Bihar have made up their mind and the wind of change is blowing in Bihar. It should not be forgotten that every Bihari wants to change Bihar. The government with administrative anarchy has become a den of plunder and embezzlement. There are serious allegations against many engineers and the government is sitting silent. He further said that Rouse Avenue is a court matter. Whatever order has come from the court, we will look at those issues seriously and fight in the court.

BJP spokesperson Neeraj Kumar said that charges have been framed against Lalu family. This is the victory of justice. This is indicative of the Modi government’s policy of zero tolerance towards corruption. On the other hand, JDU’s chief spokesperson Neeraj Kumar Singh said that it is natural for Lalu Prasad’s family to face charges of 420 and 120. Lalu Prasad gave jobs to the family members of his elder brother Mangru Rai and got land registered in Phulwari. This is a natural process.

Prime Minister Modi became emotional on Tuesday (September 02, 2025) while addressing the program of Jeevika Nidhi Cooperative Union. During the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’, objectionable words were used from a platform in Darbhanga about PM Modi’s mother. He was reacting to this for the first time. He said that the land of India has never tolerated the insult to the mother. RJD-Congress leaders should oppose them. Now the reaction of RJD has come on this.

RJD leader Shakti Singh Yadav said, “You are the Prime Minister of the country. We all respect you. The Prime Minister must take care of the dignity of his post. Who abused the Prime Minister? He is not the leader of the Congress coalition of RJD, on which no one has gone, you want to accuse someone by setting a negative.”

‘BJP-RSS cultivates lies and deceit’

Shakti Yadav further said, “The truth is that everyone’s foundation has been shaken due to the public gathering during the ‘Voter Adhikar Yatra’ in Bihar. This was not expected from the Prime Minister of the country. We repeatedly say that the BJP-RSS cultivates lies and deeds. The country also knows and the people of Bihar also know that Bihar is a political state.”

On the other hand, Bihar Deputy Chief Minister Emperor Chaudhary said that the Congress and RJD supporters abused PM Modi’s late mother, “We are also deeply sad that the Grand Alliance has embarrassed democracy by calling the Prime Minister’s mother abusive. We can feel his (PM Modi) pain.”

Bihar BJP state president Dilip Jaiswal said, “Today, 20 lakh mother, sister, daughter were listening to Prime Minister Modi’s address. He said that how important mother, sister, daughter are for humans. Just as Prime Minister Modi’s late mother was dirty abuses from the platform of Congress-RJD. There can be no more sin. The land of Bihar is not embarrassed. So Bihar’s eyes are shameful. So my eyes became moist.”
