After the crushing defeat in Bihar elections, the Congress party has now started preparing for introspection. In this context, an important meeting has been called at the State Congress office in Patna from 11 am today. State President Rajesh Ram will preside over this meeting.

This meeting is the party’s first formal review after the election results. Therefore, instructions have been issued to all the District Heads, Executive District Heads, departments, Morcha-Cell in-charges and heads of frontal organizations to be compulsorily present.

Organizational issues will be discussed in the meeting

The main objective of the meeting is to analyze the election defeat in depth. The party leadership will listen to all the leaders for their suggestions and feedback. An attempt will be made to understand what shortcomings remained in the election campaign or organization and how to avoid them in future. Along with this, organizational issues like strengthening the organization, intensifying the membership campaign and formation of booth committees will also be discussed.

Strategy will be made on the issue of vote theft

During the election campaign, Congress had raised the issue of alleged vote theft several times. This topic will also be discussed in detail in today’s meeting. In this context, a strategy will also be made on the preparations for the national protest rally against Congress’ ‘vote theft’ to be held in Delhi on 14th December. Bihar state unit has been entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring participation in large numbers in this rally.

Alliance partner RJD is the main reason for the party’s defeat?

The importance of this meeting also increases because a few days ago a meeting of Bihar leaders with the Congress high command was held in Delhi. According to sources, in that meeting many Bihar Congress leaders had raised the demand for separation from RJD and blamed alliance partner RJD as the major reason for the party’s defeat. Now, after this meeting to be held in Patna, it will be interesting to see whether Congress indicates to move ahead on the policy of ‘Go Alone’ or prepares a new strategy by staying in the Grand Alliance.

In the Bihar Assembly elections, Congress had contested 60 seats under the Grand Alliance, but the party could win only 6 seats. This poor performance has brought the party organization and leadership under deep questions. In such a situation, today’s meeting is not only a platform for review but can also prove to be an important step in deciding the future direction of the Congress.

Bihar Election Result 2025: As the counting of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025 is reaching the final stages, the trends are making it clear that the NDA government seems to be formed again. In the initial round, BJP and JDU are leading on 167 seats, while the position of the Grand Alliance seems weak. Congress’s claims of vote theft and Rahul Gandhi’s ‘hydrogen bomb’ claim seem to be failing at the moment. The results of Bihar are now becoming a mirror not only of the state but also of the opposition’s strategy.

Congress suffered the most loss

The political circles have become heated as soon as the initial trends have emerged in the counting of Bihar Assembly Elections 2025. NDA is leading on 190 seats and the path to forming their government in the state seems clear. Meanwhile, the Grand Alliance is leading on only 38 seats. BJP is ahead on 90 seats and JDU on 80 seats. Whereas RJD is leading on only 29 seats and Congress on 05 seats, while Left is leading on 6 seats. According to initial trends, Congress has suffered the most loss.

‘Vote theft’ strategy failed

Before the elections, Congress and Rahul Gandhi had loudly alleged that BJP has been forming governments by stealing votes in every state. In Bihar also he had increased the hype about ‘vote theft’. Emphasizing the exit poll results, Rahul Gandhi had claimed that BJP and the Election Commission together are killing democracy. According to him, lakhs of BJP people are roaming around in different states openly and casting their votes and the evidence is being destroyed to hide this ‘theft’. Congress had warned that this issue would go to both the Election Commission and the court.

Hydrogen bomb turns out to be a disaster

But the trends of Bihar are showing that these claims of Rahul Gandhi are not being supported on the ground at present, it would be better to call them mere platitudes. The vote bank of Congress seems weaker than before. His statements like ‘hydrogen bomb’, which were presented in a very dramatic manner before the elections, now seem to be futile. The lead of NDA and the weak position of Grand Alliance made it clear that the public mood and electoral trends in Bihar are telling a different story.

Deep impact on Congress’s credibility in Bihar elections

Political analysts say that this is a clear indication in Bihar that people have given confidence to the NDA alliance in the state. The performance of BJP and JDU has been consistently strong and their strategy is proving successful. At the same time, Congress has not only suffered a loss in seats, but its credibility has also been affected. This game of trends has become a mirror of not only Bihar but also the strategy of the entire opposition.

Easy path to victory for NDA

There is also discussion in political circles that allegations like vote theft will now be limited to mere rhetoric. The voters of Bihar had given the message from the very beginning that they are capable of taking their own decisions. NDA’s lead is an indication that the impact of the Election Commission’s process and voting is clearly visible on the actual results. Ultimately, it is clearly visible in the results that Congress’s ‘rocket’ is failing and the ‘hydrogen bomb’ of vote theft has also failed. The people of Bihar have shown their strength and the path to victory is becoming easier for NDA.

Maharashtra Congress leader and former Mumbai president Bhai Jagtap reacted to the issues like exit poll, SIR and vote theft raised in Bihar elections. Congress leader Bhai Jagtap said on the exit poll that the way the EVMs and the entire staff are used, then the way the results come, it has no meaning. This will not last very long, because the people of the country have come to know that they are being cheated. The biggest wound that the Election Commission is giving them is that people’s right to vote under the Constitution is also being taken away from them. Votes are being stolen.

He said that after the elections are over, all the machines stop. After this the policemen bring the EVM machine and then they are chased away. The people of Bihar are certainly poor, but they know what is happening to them. People have made the ministers and MLAs of the governments run away. The people of Bihar will not tolerate vote theft at all. India is the world’s largest democracy.

Movement will start again from Champaran

On the RJD leader’s statement that if there are irregularities in the elections, a situation like Nepal will be created, he said that this should not happen, but it is happening. He said that all this is happening in Leh, Ladakh, and Assam. Same thing is happening in Manipur also. The country is turbulent today. If something goes wrong in the elections, then Champaran like movement will start from Bihar once again and the government will have to answer. People’s patience has broken. People are not being allowed to vote.

People will take to the streets for democracy

The Congress leader said that even after 77 years of independence, if the people of the country have to see this day, then they will take to the streets. The government will have to face the public. He said that the government is using the Election Commission. He said that if a democracy like India disintegrates, it will take many years to get back on track.

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

Seven RJD members have demanded that the complete footage be released and the administration be told what is inside the truck. 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.

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Sunday (November 9, 2025) alleged that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are involved in vote theft and no matter where they go, they will be caught one day. Addressing an election rally in Bihar’s Kishanganj, Rahul Gandhi said that the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) are conspiring to divide the country, while the India Alliance is working towards uniting the country.

He said, ‘Modi, Shah and the Election Commission have no answer to the allegations of our vote theft, because the truth has now come before the public. The Prime Minister and Shah may go anywhere, but they will be caught for vote theft.

25 lakh voters in Haryana’s voter list are fake – Rahul

Rahul Gandhi claimed that he has recently exposed large-scale vote theft in Haryana. He said, ‘There are about two crore voters in Haryana, but about 25 lakh fake names were found in the voter list. Till date neither Modi nor Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar has shown the courage to say that Rahul Gandhi is lying.

The Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha said, ‘If the people unite and stop vote theft, then India Alliance government will be formed 100 percent in Bihar. He said, ‘In Bihar, I can say with full confidence that the Grand Alliance will form the next government. There is 100 percent possibility, but you have to stop BJP’s vote theft. On the day of voting, it is the duty of every youth, laborer and farmer to thwart vote theft.

BJP And RSS The aim is to divide the society- Rahul

In a rally in Seemanchal region, Rahul Gandhi said, ‘The aim of BJP and RSS is to divide the society and divert attention from vote theft. He said, ‘Modi and Shah are afraid of the public voice. He has betrayed the soul of India. They will be caught.

Rahul Gandhi held the economic policies of Prime Minister Modi and Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar responsible for the plight of employment in the state. He said, ‘Today the people of Bihar are building roads, schools, colleges and hospitals from Bengaluru to Arunachal Pradesh. Why can’t such hardworking people get employment in their own state? He said, ‘Nitish Kumar should answer why in 20 years he did not set up food processing units in a state with abundant crops like fish and makhana?’

Chief Minister does not want to provide employment to the youth of Bihar- Rahul

Gandhi said in the meeting in Purnia, ‘The Chief Minister does not want to provide employment to the youth of Bihar. The youth of Bihar no longer want to remain as labourers. He alleged that land is being given to industrialists in the state at cheap rates.

Rahul said, ‘Amit Shah says that industrial development cannot take place in Bihar due to lack of land. But this same government finds a way to give 1,000 acres of land to a big businessman at a cheap price. He pointed towards a proposed power plant in Bhagalpur district. Gandhi said, ‘I say with full confidence that the BJP-led government will not come to power in Bihar next time and Nitish Kumar will never be able to become the Chief Minister again.’

Opposition parties on Wednesday accused BJP leaders of voting in two different states and called it ‘proof of vote theft’. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Congress claimed that Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) ideologue Rakesh Sinha has voted in both Delhi and Bihar.

AAP said- ‘This is open theft’
AAP leader Saurabh Bhardwaj shared screenshots of two posts of Rakesh Sinha on social media. In these posts, he was seen voting in the Delhi Assembly elections on 5 February 2025 and then on Thursday he was also seen voting in the Bihar elections. Bhardwaj wrote, ‘If he teaches in Delhi University, then how can he show address in Bihar? BJP does not reform when caught, but steals openly. AAP also alleged that BJP Delhi Purvanchal Morcha president Santosh Ojha and worker Nagendra Kumar have also cast their votes in both Delhi and Bihar.

He can’t change his address to Bihar as he still teaches at Motilal Nehru College (eve) in Delhi University.

Rakesh Sinha’s answer- ‘This is the lowest level of politics’
Rakesh Sinha rejected all the allegations and said that he has got his voter card removed from Delhi and transferred to his village Manaspur in Begusarai, Bihar.

baseless and morally contested allegation is being leveled against me by by liars and morally degraded leaders of @AamAadmiParty @INCIndia and their ilk. My name is only in Bihar’s electoral roll. It was earlier in Delhi’s electoral roll and I got it deleted through… pic.twitter.com/wuvwHPZD8V

— Prof. Rakesh Sinha (@RakeshSinha01) November 6, 2025

He wrote, ‘Never thought that politics could stoop so low. Those who are questioning the integrity of those who respect the Constitution should think a hundred times before speaking. Earlier my name was in the voter list of Delhi, but now that I am active in the politics of Bihar, I got it transferred to the village. Should I file a defamation case on this false allegation?

Congress General Secretary Priyanka Gandhi Vadra on Thursday (November 6, 2025) alleged that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is preparing to steal the assembly elections in Bihar like Haryana.

Addressing election rallies in East Champaran, Sitamarhi and Madhubani districts, he also claimed that the Election Commission (ECI) is working with the government to weaken the country’s Constitution and democratic rights.

Preparation to remove 65 lakhs from Bihar’s voter list – Priyanka

Congress leader Priyanka Gandhi, citing Rahul Gandhi’s press conference related to alleged vote theft in Haryana, said, ‘Just as they (NDA) stole the entire election in Haryana, in the same way they are preparing to do the same in Bihar by removing 65 lakh votes from the rolls. Your rights are taken away by such vote theft. This weakens the Constitution for which Mahatma Gandhi fought and my family members were martyred. Appealing to the public, he said, ‘You should form a government in Bihar which works for women, youth, farmers and the poor and not steals votes.’

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra targets election commissioners

Apart from this, Priyanka Gandhi Vadra also met Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar and two election commissioners S. S. Referring to Sindhu and Vivek Joshi, he claimed, ‘These are the highest officials of the Election Commission, who are playing with the Constitution and democracy of the country. These three people are taking away your rights. Memorize their names. Don’t let them hide behind posts and commissions.

The Congress General Secretary said, ‘The country will not forget those who are betraying the country. I challenge Narendra Modi ji to conduct fair elections. Let’s see who wins? Rahul Gandhi’s fight is for you and the truth, he is fighting the same fight that Mahatma Gandhi once fought.

BJP asks for votes in the name of religion, not in the name of development- Priyanka

Priyanka Gandhi claimed that if the assembly elections are conducted in a free and fair manner, the NDA government will be overthrown and replaced by a government that will work for the poor, women and youth. Priyanka Gandhi said, ‘BJP leaders urge people to vote for NDA in the name of religion and not for development. If this election is free and fair, then the people of Bihar will overthrow this government and elect a government which will work for the poor, women and youth.

Priyanka Gandhi’s counterattack on PM Modi’s remarks

Citing a statement of Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the poster of the Grand Alliance, he said, ‘Narendra Modi keeps measuring photos of people in the posters of opposition parties. He is the Prime Minister of the country, doesn’t he have any other work?

Referring to Mahatma Gandhi’s movement in Champaran, the Congress General Secretary said, ‘We are leaders and workers of Congress, to whom Mahatma Gandhi showed the path. At the same time, it was your ancestors who showed this path to Mahatma Gandhi. The people of Bihar will have to understand their participation in this country. You have to understand that it is your ancestors who built this country.

Priyanka Gandhi raised the issue of paper leak

Raising the issue of paper leak, Priyanka said, ‘The youth continuously give exams, but the paper gets leaked again and again. In such a situation, many years of youth’s life are wasted waiting for examinations and appointments. This is the condition of youth in Bihar and Uttar Pradesh. He claimed that Bihar has a single engine government and not a double engine, which is run by Prime Minister Modi.

Priyanka spoke on women getting Rs 10,000 in Bihar

Priyanka Gandhi said, ‘Narendra Modi wants to get votes by paying Rs 10,000 before the elections. Today there is migration and poverty in Bihar. People go to other states to earn for their families, but Modi-Nitish do not see this. He claimed, ‘NDA government has been in power for 20 years, but till date Modi has not even visited any village in Bihar to know the condition of the people. In reality they do not care about the public. These people are just busy in flashing their faces on TV and posters.

Rahul Gandhi’s appeal to the people of Bihar

Appealing to the people of Bihar, Gandhi further said, ‘Many of you are going to vote for the first time. This is not only your right, but also the biggest responsibility of democracy.

My young friends of Bihar,
My Gen-Z brothers and sisters,

Rahul Gandhi’s allegation of ‘vote theft’ in Haryana

Let us tell you that in a press conference, Rahul Gandhi accused the ruling government of ‘vote theft’ in Haryana. Presenting the photograph of a Brazilian model, he said that she cast her vote 22 times in Haryana, sometimes posing as Seema and sometimes as Sweety. Rahul Gandhi said that fake votes were cast in Haryana by using the picture of this model.

He claimed that a conspiracy was hatched to convert the victory of Congress into the victory of BJP in Haryana elections. Raising questions on the Election Commission and the democratic process of the country, Gandhi said that the ruling government is ruining the future of Generation ‘Z’.

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra has supported Leader of Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi’s allegations of ‘vote theft’ in Haryana. He appealed to the public on Wednesday (November 05, 2025) to ‘recognize their power’ and ‘uproot the ruling government’.

Addressing a public meeting in Valmiki Nagar in West Champaran during an election rally in Bihar, Priyanka Gandhi said, ‘Today my brother has exposed before everyone what happened in Haryana, how the people of the ruling government stole the entire election. The whole country is watching and the whole country should watch.

Congress MP’s appeal to the people of Bihar

He further said, ‘I have a complaint against the country, why is the country silent, why are you silent, why don’t you recognize your strength? Let us together change them, overthrow their government and form a new government. Priyanka Gandhi’s comment came at a time when Rahul Gandhi accused BJP of ‘vote theft’ in Haryana.

Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi said that Rahul Gandhi took out a yatra against ‘vote theft’, but he says that if he took out a yatra for infiltrators, then are the voters here infiltrators? The Grand Alliance is fighting for the rights of the people. He told people not to waste their votes. The Grand Alliance wants to do many things here.

Priyanka Gandhi spoke about Nehru

Priyanka Gandhi Vadra while targeting BJP said that today these people hold Jawaharlal Nehru responsible for any bad thing in the country, but today an American man won the election in New York and he talked about Jawaharlal Nehru. Today Nehru is being talked about in foreign countries, but in his own country the BJP insults him.

Political stir due to Rahul Gandhi’s ‘H-Files’ document

In fact, in a press conference in Delhi, Rahul Gandhi released a document named ‘H-Files’, in which he alleged large-scale irregularities during the counting of votes. Rahul Gandhi claimed that this tampering took place at both the state and national levels. Rahul Gandhi had alleged that around 25 lakh fake votes were found in Haryana, including cases of one person allegedly voting 22 times under multiple identities.

The Congress leader claimed that the party has received ‘numerous complaints’ from candidates and the Election Commission has failed to protect the democratic process. Rahul Gandhi warned that India’s democratic foundations are being ‘destroyed’ and the future of India’s youth is at stake.

Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has once again made serious allegations of alleged irregularities in the voting process and voting list regarding the Haryana Assembly elections. He claimed in the press conference on Wednesday (5 November) that there are more than 25 lakh fake voters included in the voting list of Haryana, which directly raises questions on the fairness of the elections.

Rahul Gandhi said that an example of this irregularity is a Brazilian model, who allegedly voted 22 different times in Haryana. He raised questions as to how the name of this model came in the voter list and why the name of the same woman was registered at many different booths and places. The picture of this Brazilian model was shared by Mathews Ferraro on social media, which makes the seriousness of this matter more clear.

Matheus Ferroro had clicked the photo of the model

The name of this woman as mentioned by Rahul Gandhi is not Matheus Ferroro. Matheus Ferroro is the name of the photographer who clicked this photo. This photo is available in the photographer’s profile on websites like Unsplash and Pexels.

A Brazilian citizen Matheus Ferroro voted in 22 names in Haryana under the names ranging from Sweety to Saraswathi. The wonder called @ECISVEEP,

Rahul Gandhi made these serious allegations

Rahul Gandhi said that there are a total of 2 crore voters in Haryana and out of these, about 12.5 percent were found to be fake voters. He said that the voting process was tampered by using fake photos and names, and that is why a conspiracy was hatched to convert the possible huge victory of Congress into defeat.

Apart from this, Rahul Gandhi alleged that many BJP leaders are voting in Haryana after voting in Uttar Pradesh. Giving specific examples, he said that Dalchand sits with the UP minister, is a sarpanch and his son Yashveer is also voting in Haryana. Along with this, he told that the names of the fathers of some fake voters were changed. Rahul said that he has solid evidence of this entire matter.

What did the Election Commission say?

However, Election Commission sources have responded to this allegation and said that Rahul Gandhi had earlier not raised any objection to the voter list of Haryana and till now no official complaint has been received against this list.

In the press conference, Rahul Gandhi especially appealed to the youth of the country and Gen Z voters to pay attention to this issue, as it is directly related to their future and democratic rights. He warned that it is necessary to question the democratic process and the transparency of the Election Commission and this allegation has been presented with complete evidence.
