Left Parties

INDIA bloc parties in Bihar have demanded that the 2025 Assembly election be declared invalid and fresh polls be conducted, alleging electoral irregularities. Led by RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav, opposition leaders submitted a memorandum to Governor Syed Ata Hasnain seeking six measures, including a halt to the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls and the removal of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar.

Opposition INDIA bloc leaders in Bihar marched towards Lok Bhavan in Patna on October 8, demanding Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar’s resignation over alleged irregularities in the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. Police barricades halted the procession, and RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav accused the authorities of suppressing the Opposition’s voice.

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.
