NEW DELHI/PATNA : Amid hard bargaining among NDA allies over plum portfolios in the new Bihar ministry on Tuesday, the Speakers post is expected to stay with the BJP, while Chief Minister Nitish Kumar may retain Home despite the BJP pressing him to part with it.

Prashant Kishor accepts full responsibility for Jan Suraajs Bihar Poll debacle
PATNA: Jan Suraaj Party (JSP) founder Prashant Kishor on Tuesday broke his silence on his partys debacle in the recently concluded Bihar Assembly elections, taking full responsibility for its poor performance. In his first reaction since the announcement of the poll results on 14 November, Kishor said that although his team had made honest and sincere efforts, they had failed to convince people of the partys ideology and policies. We failed to convince people what we meant for them. So, they voted in favour of the NDA, he told the media. The Jan Suraaj Party contested 238 seats but failed to win a single one, securing just 3.44 per cent of the vote share. In 68 constituencies, the JSP even received fewer votes than NOTA. While three candidates withdrew their nominations, one extended support to the BJP. Bihar Elections 2025: Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party fails to make waves Kishor said that although his team had worked sincerely, they did not receive the desired public response, leading to results that were far from expectations. Forget about systematic change, we could not even bring about a change in government, he said, while resolving to continue his fight for systemic reform. Its true that the election results did not come on expected lines, but we will continue our struggle. We will not sit idle and will continue to raise the voice of the people of Bihar. Though we failed to win even a single seat, we certainly played some role in changing Bihars politics, he added. Responding to a media query, the JSP founder said the party would review the mistakes that led to its poor electoral performance. We will identify the mistakes and rectify them. If the public does not show faith in us, the responsibility for that is entirely mine, he said. He acknowledged that he had failed to win the trust of the people of Bihar in the 2025 Assembly election. I failed to explain the basis on which they should vote and why they should create a new system, he said, adding that he would observe a day of silence at Gandhis Bhitiharwa Ashram in West Champaran on 20 November. Kishor thanked the BJPJD(U)-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) for its landslide victory and said the new government now carries a greater responsibility to fulfil its pre-election promises. A greater responsibility now lies on the new government, he added. Referring to factors that influenced the election outcome, the political strategist-turned-activist claimed that the JD(U) would not have won more than 25 seats had the government not credited 10,000 each to the bank accounts of Jeevika Didis just days before the polls. He reiterated his earlier statement that he would quit politics if the JD(U) secured more than 25 seats. If Nitish Kumar transfers the 2 lakh he promised to 1.5 crore Jeevika Didis, and proves he did not win by buying votes, I will retire from politics, he asserted. Despite the setback, Kishor vowed to continue his struggle. I will work twice as hard as you have seen me work over the past three years and put in all my energy. There is no question of backing down. There is no turning back until I fulfil my resolve to make Bihar better, he said.

JD(U) would have been bundled up with 25 seats had it not given Rs 10,000 to women: Prashant Kishor
Patna, Nov 18 (PTI) Jan Suraaj Party leader Prashant Kishor on Tuesday claimed that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumars JD(U) would have been bundled up with just 25 seats had his government not given Rs 10,000 to 60,000 beneficiaries in each constituency just before the assembly elections and promised Rs 2 lakh to 1.5 crore women across the state under self-employment initiatives. Addressing a press conference here, Kishor said that his Jan Suraaj Party made an honest effort but failed to make a mark in the polls, and that he took full responsibility for the debacle. Kishor also alleged that
Lalu Yadav's family is embroiled in a public feud after daughter Rohini Acharya quit politics, accusing brother Tejashwi Yadav and his aides of humiliation and abuse. Lalu Prasad Yadav has stated he will resolve the internal family matter privately, while party leaders focus on strengthening the RJD. He made the remarks at a party meeting in Patna.
Thirty years after the Bathani Tola massacre, survivors of the Ranvir Sena attack, which claimed 21 lives including children and women, still await justice. Despite a lower court conviction, the Patna High Court acquitted all accused in 2012. The case now languishes in the Supreme Court, leaving victims in a prolonged state of uncertainty and despair.
Tejashwi Yadav faced family pressure and offered to resign as RJD leader. Lalu Prasad intervened, ensuring Tejashwi continues to lead the legislative party. The RJD reviewed its poor election performance. Some leaders blamed EVMs for the defeat. The party secured significantly fewer seats compared to the previous election.
'Jaichands will have to pay price, face consequences': Tej Pratap on 'insult' to Rohini Acharya
PATNA: Tej Pratap Yadav, the chief of Janshakti Janta Dal and elder son of RJD supremo Lalu Prasad, has come out in support of his sister, Rohini Acharya, following her recent public allegations of humiliation by her brother Tejashwi Yadav and aide, Sanjay Yadav, stating Jaichands will have to pay the price and face the consequences. The former Bihar minister, who lost the election from Mahua assembly seat, voiced his sentiments in support of his sister Rohini Acharya in a post on his X handle, blaming the crisis on 'Jaichand', a metaphor for traitors. I will not tolerate the insult to our sister under any circumstances. Jaichands will have to pay the price for their misdeeds. They will have to face the consequences. Whatever has happened with Rohni didi has shaken me. I tolerated whatever happened to me, but I can't tolerate this insult to my sister. It's unacceptable and unbearable, Yadav said. , ! # pic.twitter.com/MPVzBGv1kS Tej Pratap Yadav (@TejYadav14) November 17, 2025 I must tell all these Jaichands. If they target our family, people of Bihar will never forgive them, he added. Rohini Acharya blames Sanjay Yadav, Rameez for causing rift in family: Who are they? RJD president Lalu Prasad's daughter Rohini Acharya on Sunday alleged that she has been sworn at and accused of extracting crores of rupees and a party ticket in exchange for a filthy kidney that she gave to her ailing father. A day after having left for Delhi, claiming that she had been driven out of her parents' home by the cohorts of her younger brother Tejashwi Yadav, the 47-year-old shared lurid details of what took place at their place after the party suffered a debacle in the Bihar assembly polls. In a couple of posts on her X handle, Acharya alleged, I was sworn at (gandi galiyan di gayi), and was accused of having given my filthy (gandi) kidney to my father in exchange for crores of rupees and a party ticket. Acharya, who had donated a kidney to Prasad a few years ago, had contested last year's Lok Sabha polls, unsuccessfully, from Saran. In her emotionally charged posts, she rued having made the sacrifice to save her father's life without caring for the approval of my husband and my in-laws or for the well-being of my three children. In a dig at Tejashwi Yadav, her father's heir apparent, she said, May all married women, if they have a brother, never take such a step. They should ask their brother to donate his own kidney or that of a Haryanvi friend. 'I just disowned my brother... my father always stood by me,' says Rohini Acharya

PATNA: The RJD claimed on Monday that its Raghopur MLA Tejashwi Prasad Yadav would serve as the LoP in the Bihar Legislative Assembly, aswith 25 MLAsthe party has a little over 10% of the strength of the 243-member House. A party is required to have 10% of the total strength to have its member recognised as LoP. In this case. A decision to this effect was taken at RJDs legislature party meeting convened at 1 Polo Road residence of Tejashwi to review debacle of RJD-led Mahagathbandhan in the Assembly elections. In the meeting, RJD founder Lalu Prasad, former chief minister and MLC Rabri Devi, and Patliputra MP Misa Bharti adopted the resolution in this regard. All the newly elected MLAs and unsuccessful candidates were present at the meeting being held after three days of results of Assembly elections. Tejashwi discussed at length the reasons for the poor performance of the party in the election and reiterated his resolve to continue its fight for justice. RJD MLA Alok Mehta later blamed the election commission for crushing defeat of the Opposition alliance in the election. Such a dismal performance is attributed to discrepancies in the polling. We did not lose, but we made to lose election, he said. Another MLA Bago Singh said that state governments decision to provide Rs 10,000 each to Jeevika Didis under Mukhyamantri Mahila Rojgar Yojna influenced a large chunk of female voters who favoured NDA in the election. The election commission should look into it, he said.
Tejashwis man friday in centre of Lalu family rift
PATNA: Sanjay Yadav, 41, has long been a surging presence in the RJD. In recent weeks, his name has surfaced at the centre of the turbulence in the first family of the partys founder and former CM, Lalu Prasad. Matters came to a head on Saturday, when Lalus daughter Rohini Acharya publicly quit politics and severed ties with the household, blaming Sanjay. A post-graduate in computer science from Mahendragarh, Haryana, Sanjay worked as a software engineer in Delhi before meeting Tejashwi in 2012. Former Union minister Ram Kripal Yadav says his son Abhimanyu introduced them. Ram Kripal, then in the RJD, was known as Lalus Hanuman. The Sanjay-Tejashwi association strengthened after the 2015 assembly election, when the RJD-led Mahagathbandhan campaign was designed by Prashant Kishor, and Nitish Kumars JD(U) was part of the alliance; the Mahagathbandhan had formed the government. Ahead of the 2020 elections, as Lalus health declined, Sanjay headed the partys war room and established his place. He managed Tejashwis 2020 campaign--RJD emerged as the single largest party with 75 seats. In 2024, he was made a Rajya Sabha MP and became the most influential figure in RJD after Tejashwi. He was behind several interventions, including that RJD posters feature only Tejashwi to blunt jungle raj barbs. During RJDs Bihar Adhikar Yatra this year, Rohini had criticised an unnamed figure for alleged overreach; on Saturday, she named Sanjay and his associate Rameez Nemath for her ouster from her parents family. Tej Pratap Yadav, himself recently expelled from the family, defended her and warned of Jai Chands (traitors).
