Nda Defeat In Bihar

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Monday said Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's goof-up in wishing another "CM term" for Prime Minister Narendra Modi showed a "sense of imminent defeat" in the NDA camp.

A key political aide of Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar on Wednesday blamed "lack of coordination among NDA partners" for the recent defeat of the BJP in a crucial by-election in the state.

RJD president Lalu Yadav was on Thursday shifted from the director's bungalow of a Ranchi hospital to its paying ward on Thursday following his alleged phone call to a Bihar BJP MLA seeking his help in defeating the NDA candidate in the election for assembly Speaker's post, an official said.

A case was filed against Rashtriya Janata Dal's jailed president Lalu Yadav in Patna today by the BJP MLA who he had allegedly called while in custody and offered a ministerial berth in exchange for helping the opposition in defeating the NDAs candidate for assembly Speaker's post.

Covid and its disastrous economic consequences have left Nitish Kumar and his party gasping for breath, not 31-year-old Tejashwi Yadav, asserted KC Tyagi, a spokesperson of the Janata Dal United or JDU, as he appeared to concede defeat just a little before 10 am in Patna.

Chirag Paswan, who is attempting a tricky manoeuvre by fighting against ally Nitish Kumar in the Bihar election while remaining a part of the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA), says he will "100 per cent" put up candidates against the Chief Minister's party and do his best to defeat him.

The Hindustani Awam Morcha (HAM) of former Bihar Chief Minister Jitan Ram Manjhi exited the opposition Grand Alliance on Thursday, dealing a blow to the opposition's bid to defeat the NDA led by Nitish Kumar's JD(U) in the state assembly elections due in October-November.

In the '90s, when every political pundit predicted a political defeat of Lalu Yadav, his claim was "my Djinn will come out". And he did prove his critics wrong at election time. What he called his "Djinn" were voters of backwards classes, who formed the core support base of his party. For Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, it is women, who, in some const...

Boosted by the entry of former NDA constituent, the Rashtriya Lok Samta Party (RLSP), into the opposition coalition in Bihar, Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Tejashwi Yadav on Thursday said a "pre-poll grand alliance" was imperative to defeat the BJP government at the centre.

Shiv Sena's Uddhav Thackeray's took frequent swipes at the BJP for its approach towards its NDA allies. But he wasn't among the only one in the NDA to deliver a sharp message to the BJP. Just hours into the BJP's electoral losses in Thursday's by-elections, there were some discordant noises from Bihar as well. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar's Janata D...

RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav on Wednesday said that former Bihar Chief Minister Lalu Yadav's formula of a "Mahagatbandhan" (Grand Alliance) at the national level is the only way to defeat the BJP-led NDA in the 2019 Lok Sabha polls.

The NDA government at the Centre has lost the trust of the people, which has reflected in the defeat in Bihar elections, Tamil Maanila Congress president GK Vasan said today.

The debate over "intolerance" that is raging in the country did not contribute to the BJP-led NDA's defeat in Bihar polls, Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan today said in the wake of the electoral debacle that has given rise to a chorus of dissent within his party.

Ram Vilas Paswan and Jitan Ram Manjhi, two prominent Dalit leaders on whom BJP was banking to bring home for the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) nearly 16 per cent votes of schedule castes, failed to deliver in the Bihar elections, as reflected in the results.

As BJP tries to recover from its Bihar poll debacle, ally Shiv Sena today dealt another blow to the party, saying that "cunningness" does not always work in politics and that the common man will respond appropriately if promises made are not fulfilled.
