JD(U) Reviews Bihar MLC Poll Loss Amid Internal Tensions and BJP Relations
Janata Dal (United) is reviewing its poor performance in the recent Bihar Legislative Council elections, where it won only one of four seats. Internal tensions have surfaced, including disputes involving independent MLC Anand Singh, who was expelled for alleged campaigning against the party. The BJP's swift induction of independent winners has strained the JD(U)-BJP alliance. A major meeting led by Nitish Kumar and senior leaders aims to address these challenges and clarify the party's future direction amid emerging internal power struggles.
