Chief Minister

Jan Suraaj Party founder Prashant Kishor has claimed that his party will win the Patna Graduates’ and Patna Teachers’ constituencies in the upcoming Bihar Legislative Council elections. His prediction comes alongside promises of employment opportunities for young people and improved pay benefits for teachers.

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary sparked controversy after saying critics could find only five videos of sexual assault and molestation in the State. The Opposition RJD criticised the remark, arguing that even one such incident should be treated seriously.

Prashant Kishor has launched a fresh political attack on Nitish Kumar, claiming the Bihar Chief Minister’s influence has diminished after those who rose politically using his name moved into a new phase.

JD(U) National Working President Sanjay Kumar Jha said no political party can pursue politics in Bihar without centring its activities around the Janata Dal (United), while highlighting Nitish Kumar's role in the party's recent electoral performance.

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary directed officials to prepare and submit a detailed assessment of flood-related damage and rehabilitation costs across the State at the earliest.

Three of the four RLM MLAs have decided to support party candidate Ram Pukar Sinha in the Saran Teachers constituency, instead of JD(U) candidate Anand Pushkar, highlighting fresh dissent within the Bihar NDA.

Nishant Kumar has backed JD(U) candidate Neeraj Kumar in the Bihar Legislative Council elections, urging party workers to support the official NDA candidate as Anant Singh continues to campaign for Jan Suraaj nominee Anuj Singh.

Union minister and LJP (Ram Vilas) leader Chirag Paswan criticised the Bihar government over reported cases involving minor girls, questioned the police response and said he would continue raising the issue despite being part of the ruling NDA.

Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary surveyed flood-affected areas in West Champaran and Saran and reviewed relief arrangements in Bathna. Water Resources Department officials reported embankment damage and warned that nearby low-lying villages could face flooding.

The RJD accused Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary of exposing a minor survivor’s identity after a photograph appeared briefly on his official X account. His remarks about the video that helped police identify suspects also drew political criticism.

Samrat Choudhary’s appointment as Bihar’s first BJP Chief Minister has changed the leadership balance within the NDA, while the JD(U) remains part of the ruling coalition.

JD(U) leaders criticised Sonia Gandhi after media reports said she called Nitish Kumar a “traitor” at a Congress Working Committee meeting. The exact wording of the reported exchange remains unclear.
