RJD concedes defeat a day after Bihar verdict, says it remains party of the poor and will continue to raise their voice

The message comes after a bruising election that saw the NDA surge well ahead of the Mahagathbandhan, leaving the RJD unable to convert its early momentum into seats or a mandate for its leader, Tejashwi Yadav. Once the dominant force that shaped Bihars political fortunes for decades, the party faltered this cycle, weakened by missteps in messaging, organisational gaps and strained coordination with allies.
