Jan Suraaj Wins First Bihar Council Seat; RJD Defeats BJP in Patna Teachers' Poll
In Bihar's recent Legislative Council elections, Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj Party won its first seat with Suresh Prasad Rai defeating Congress veteran Madan Mohan Jha in the Darbhanga Teachers' constituency. The Rashtriya Janata Dal ended BJP's 30-year hold on the Patna Teachers' seat with Sanjeev Kumar Singh's victory over BJP's Nawal Kishore Yadav. The BJP secured three seats, JD(U) retained Patna Graduates' seat, and Independents won two seats. The results reflect shifting political dynamics and intra-party contests within Bihar's ruling coalition and opposition.
