Oct 18, 2025
Patna (Bihar) [India], October 19 : Amidst the ongoing seat-sharing crisis within the Mahagathbandhan, Congress leader Pawan Khera on Saturday said that everything has been finalised and an announcement will be made at the right time.
"Everything has been finalised, only the announcement has to be made, which will be made at the right time," Pawan Khera told reporters.
He also slammed Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for calling the RJD rule in Bihar. "Jungle Raj."
"UP CM Yogi Adityanath gives statements on 'Jungle raaj', first he should look at the condition in his state," Khera said.
Earlier, Tripura Chief Minister Manik Saha, while campaigning for the NDA candidates, praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi, asserting that his thoughts signify the development of Bihar along with the country.
Hailing the importance of Champaran in the Bihar elections, Saha stated that it is a matter of pride for him to visit the region and mentioned that the NDA would win all nine seats in the area.
"PM Modi always says that Bihar should develop, then the country will develop too. Just like development in the northeast became possible due to him...We know the condition of Bihar, we know what all happened in Lalu ji's tenure...Elections are about to take place here. Coming to a place like Champaran is a matter of pride for me. This is really important...This time, we will win all 9 seats here (in Champaran)," Manik Saha told reporters.
Union Minister Giriraj Singh asserted that the National Democratic Alliance (NDA) is poised to secure a resounding victory in the upcoming Bihar Assembly elections, while taking a sharp dig at the opposition bloc Mahagathbandhan, saying it is in a fragmented state -- "dil ke tukde hazaar huye, koi yahan gire, koi wahan gire."
Singh also noted that there is no such thing as 'Mahagathbandhan' in Bihar, asserting the public's disinterest in RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav.
"In 2010, JD(U) and BJP made a record together when they won 206 seats. This time, we will go higher than that. We have 'neta' (leader), 'netritva' (leadership) and program. There is no such thing as 'mahagathbandhan', there is no trust in Tejashwi Yadav. They are not ready to consider each other leaders. They neither have 'neta' nor 'netritva'," Giriraj Singh told ANI.
Polling for the Bihar elections 2025 will take place on November 6 and 11. The results will be announced on November 14.
