Sanjay Kumar Jha reiterated JDU's opposition to the renewal of the Farakka water treaty, arguing that the agreement harms Bihar's water interests and will be contested when the current pact expires in December 2026. State president Umesh Singh Kushwaha later urged party members to stay united around Nitish Kumar's policies. Nishant Kumar appealed to legislators to convey the former chief minister's achievements to the public, reinforcing the message that the party will continue to champion Nitish's political legacy while it reviews the UCC draft before taking a final position.
