Amid the dust settling from Bihar’s Rajya Sabha election results, Tejashwi Yadav, the fiery young leader of RJD, didn’t mince words. The Opposition Leader asserted that Mahagathbandhan’s defeat stemmed purely from treachery, insisting their win was a done deal otherwise.
In a candid media interaction, Yadav detailed the initial advantage: Mahagathbandhan led by six votes for the fifth seat against NDA’s shortfall. ‘We prefer battle to submission,’ he declared, emphasizing ideological opposition. Bolstering their position, alliances with AIMIM and BSP brought their count to six.
But Yadav accused the BJP of orchestrating horse-trading across states. ‘Their character is defined by cunning, corruption, and abuse of power structures,’ he charged, vowing continued resistance.
NDA swept all five seats with victors including Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, Nitin Nabin, Upendra Kushwaha, Ram Nath Thakur, and Shivesh Ram, who won on second preferences after topping first counts. RJD’s Amarendra Dhari Singh fought valiantly but fell short in the fifth seat showdown.
The victory parade for NDA comes with implications: Nitish Kumar’s Rajya Sabha move means relinquishing his CM chair, potentially triggering a power shuffle in the state. Tejashwi’s defiant tone signals that the political warfare in Bihar is far from over, with fresh battles on the horizon.
