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.

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.

Union Minister Lallan Singh has declined to intervene in the dispute between JDU leaders Anant Singh and Neeraj Kumar, saying he does not involve himself in such disputes unless both sides are willing to reconcile.
