The debacle of Prashant Kishor's Jan Suraaj party in the Bihar assembly elections has put the spotlight on the phenomenon of several such political 'startups' sprouting in the crowded political battleground but very few becoming 'unicorns'. (PTI)
Lok Janshakti Party (Ram Vilas) chief Chirag Paswan on Sunday refrained from commenting on Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader Rohini Acharya's decision to "quit politics" and distance herself from her family, while expressing empathy for her family's situation, drawing on his own experiences with personal crises, urged that the dispute be resolved at the earliest.
Speaking to ANI on RJD leader Rohini Acharya's announcement that she is quitting politics, Paswan said he understood the emotional strain such moments create.
On the Bihar Assembly election result, Union Minister Jitendra Singh says, "BJP is always ready for any election. We never have any specific target. This is a natural part of our work process. If you wake up our party workers from sleep, he raises his flag and shouts 'BJP Zindabad'."
On the Nowgam police station blast incident, he says, "The relevant agencies are investigating this matter. Authorised people will provide you with the reason behind this."
On NDA's landslide victory in Bihar elections, BJP MP Sanjay Jaiswal says, "Whenever Rahul Gandhi speaks, it only benefits the BJP. The issue of vote theft that they were raising was not there in Bihar at all. We have provided schemes to support the poor. This is our historic victory..."
CPI(M) leaders on Saturday alleged that their Kamalpur sub-divisional office in Tripura's Dhalai district was set on fire and two more party offices were vandalised by BJP supporters during celebrations over the party's massive victory in Bihar Assembly elections.
However, there was no casualty or injury in the attacks.
"Soon after winning the Bihar Assembly elections, hundreds of BJP leaders and supporters gathered at Manikbhander to celebrate the party's victory. Suddenly, a group of party supporters torched the CPI(M) sub-divisional party office at Manikbhander shortly after 11.30. Tables, furniture and party flags were gutted," party's Dhalai district secretary Anjan Das told reporters. (PTI)
On NDA's landslide victory in Bihar Elections, PM Narendra Modi says, "My brothers and sisters living in Surat were closely monitoring this election. The people of Bihar don't need to be taught politics. They have the power to teach politics to the rest of the world."
LJP (Ram Vilas) chief and Union Minister Chirag Paswan says, “On the question of the CM face, my party’s position is - as the Union Home Minister has also said and as the Constitution dictates - the MLAs will elect their leader as the CM. As far as I believe, CM Nitish Kumar will once again become the Chief Minister.”
Former Bihar Chief Minister and Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) patriarch Lalu Prasad Yadav's daughter, Rohini Acharya, on Saturdary said she has decided to "quit" politics and "disowning" her family a day after the party suffered a massive defeat in assembly polls, securing only 25 seats in the 243 member state assembly.
Taking all the blame, Rohini hit out at Sanjay Yadav, who is the RJD MP and close aide of Tejashwi Yadav, and said, "This is what Sanjay Yaday had asked me to do."
"I'm quitting politics and I'm disowning my family ... This is what Sanjay Yadav and Rameez had asked me to do and I'm taking all the blame," Rohini Acharya said.
On NDA's landslide victory in Bihar Election 2025, NCP-SCP chief Sharad Pawar says, “...The headlines in the newspapers today say that they (NDA) gave ₹10,000 to women and that resulted in their victory. Giving ₹10,000 right before elections is a corruption of sorts. This was done by the State Govt there. They got the results for it. We accept it...The same thing happened in Maharashtra before the elections. In the name of 'Ladki Bahin Yojana', money was disbursed (to women)…”
CPI(M) Kerala state secretary M V Govindan on Saturday alleged that the Congress could not cohesively hold the broad secular alliance against the BJP in Bihar where the opposition suffered a rout in the Assembly elections. (PTI)
NCP (SP) president Sharad Pawar on Saturday said the entrepreneurship scheme for women played a role in the victory of the NDA in the Bihar elections, even as he wondered how the Election Commission allowed distribution of funds during the poll process.
"The outcome of the Bihar polls was not different from what was predicted by (Chief Minister) Nitish Kumar. Women took the election into their hands. I had earlier felt that a scheme under which ₹10,000 is deposited in bank accounts of women had generated a favourable effect (for NDA)", Pawar told reporters in Baramati. (ANI)
Jan Suraaj president Uday Singh says, "Congratulations to the NDA for a thumping majority. But this is a mandate that has been bought. After 21st June, the Govt used ₹40,000 Crores from the Govt treasury to get this mandate. This will affect Bihar's economy. In the time to come, people will see that they will not have money for education, health or infrastructure. They have also distributed ₹14,000 Crores from a loan they took from the World Bank. That is the reason they got a thumping majority. As far as Jan Suraaj is concerned, voters of Jan Suraaj got scared at the end. I think fearing RJD's return to power, they decided in the last few days that it would be safer for them to vote for NDA. The mistake we made is that we failed in instilling confidence among the people that even if Muslims are not openly being seen with us, there could be an alternate system in Bihar. We will be mindful of this mistake and in the time to come, work will be done on this."
A day after the Bihar Election Results, JD(U) leader Shyam Rajak said on Saturday, “No one other than Nitish Kumar will take oath. The Chief Minister will decide the date of the oath-taking ceremony.”
After meeting CM Nitish Kumar, JD(U) leader Shyam Rajak said, "The entire NDA is united. All 5 Pandavas are united. Elections were contested under the leadership of Nitish Kumar. He is our leader and he will be our next CM as well..."
Bihar BJP chief Dilip Jaiswal said, “For a year, PM Modi held several programs in Bihar. He gave special package of lakhs and crores of rupees for the development of Bihar...Lakhs of people used to come to his rallies.”
“PM Modi's popularity was clearly seen in Bihar. Nitish Kumar walked with PM Modi and worked for the development of Bihar. So, PM Modi's guarantee of development and the trust of people of Bihar earned by Nitish Kumar made it clear 5-6 months ago that NDA will form the Govt with a thumping majority,” Jaiswal said.
He added, "We organised an NDA workers' convention in January-February 2025. All NDA allies went to the people as the 5 Pandavas...I would like to thank Union HM Amit Shah. I admire him for his strategies. We brought his strategies to the ground..."
Rahul Gandhi posted on X: "I express my heartfelt gratitude to those millions of voters in Bihar who expressed their trust in the Mahagathbandhan.
This result in Bihar is truly surprising. We could not achieve victory in an election that was not fair from the very beginning.
This fight is for the protection of the Constitution and democracy. The Congress Party and the INDIA alliance will deeply review this result and make their efforts to save democracy even more effective."
On NDA's landslide victory in Bihar Elections, Maharashtra Dy CM Eknath Shinde said, "People have rejected jungleraj and accepted development by showing faith in PM Narendra Modi... Rahul Gandhi went there to catch fish. To all those alleging vote chori, I would only say that people have given a befitting reply... Women and youth have voted in large numbers, which is why the NDA has secured this landslide victory..."
