Opposition Unity

RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav has accused the BJP-led NDA of winning elections through alleged vote theft and electoral malpractice. Speaking to reporters in Patna on November 3, he described the INDIA bloc's Delhi rally as successful and asserted that opposition parties were united against alleged irregularities in the SIR exercise. His remarks have renewed the political debate over electoral rolls and the Election Commission.

Rohini Acharya has suggested that Tejashwi Yadav and Prashant Kishor should work together to challenge the BJP in Bihar. Her statement has started a fresh discussion about opposition unity after the Legislative Council election results.

The BJP has announced nationwide protests against Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge over his remarks during an event in Patna on October 25, 2026. While the BJP accused Kharge of making offensive comments about Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s late father, Congress said the exchange must be understood in context, arguing that Kharge was referring to the RSS as Modi’s ideological predecessor.

Police stopped a CPI(M)-led march in Patna on October 16 as protesters demanded action over alleged electoral irregularities and the Special Intensive Revision of voter lists. The demonstration reflects a wider political confrontation over electoral transparency and voting rights.
