Bihar Assembly Election 2025 Live UpdatesBihar Assembly Election 2025 Live Updates: Senior Congress leader Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday met RJD president Lalu Prasad, in an attempt to defuse tensions with the ally, which drove the Mahagathbandhan into turmoil in poll-bound Bihar. Gehlot said, “You have seen the chemistry between Rahul and Tejashwi during the Voter Adhikar Yatra two months ago when the two leaders travelled across the state. They will take an appropriate decision at an appropriate time.”
Tejashwi’s poll promises: Offering job permanence to Bihar’s two-lakh Jeevika community mobilisers and an equal number of contractual employees, ensuring education and employment for girls, and providing houses, adequate ration and incomes for women — these are among the Mahagathbandhan’s new promises that the state’s Leader of Opposition Tejashwi Yadav has made in the run-up to the assembly elections. He also dismissed rumours of friction within the alliance over seat-sharing. This comes at a time when the RJD and the Congress are yet to put out a clear seat-sharing formula with barely weeks left for the Bihar assembly elections. The ‘allies’ are now staring at ‘friendly contests’ on at least three seats — Bachhwara, Rajapakar, and Bihar Sharif.

‘Tejashwi should stop fooling people of Bihar,’ says BJP: The BJP on Wednesday accused RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav of attempting to fool the people of Bihar by making unrealistic poll promises and also targeted Prashant Kishor’s Jan Suraaj Party, exhorting the people to give mandate to the “tried and tested” leadership of NDA instead of falling for Mahagathbandhan’s ploy or “any new experimental politics”. BJP national spokesperson and Rajya Sabha MP Sudhanshu Trivedi termed Yadav’s poll promises a “cruel joke” as he raised questions on the RJD leader’s intentions behind making such “lofty promises” which would require funds way higher than the current budget of the Bihar government.
