The Janata Dal (United) is preparing for an important meeting in Patna to review its disappointing performance in the Bihar Legislative Council elections, where it won only one of the four seats it contested. The defeat has exposed growing differences with NDA ally BJP, with JD(U) leaders questioning the party's election support and raising concerns over internal leadership equations involving Sanjay Kumar Jha, Lalan Singh and Nishant Kumar.

Bihar Chief Minister Samrat Choudhary met senior JD(U) leader Nitish Kumar at his residence in Patna amid growing political speculation over tensions between BJP and JD(U) following the recent MLC election results. The approximately 20-minute closed-door meeting focused on Bihar's development and the NDA government's priorities, while its timing has attracted attention within political circles.
