Jan Suraaj did not change who gets to govern Bihar, but it did change how competitive, unpredictable, and divided the race became and that influence, even without seats, is now part of the state’s electoral record.

Congress’s poor performance in the Bihar Assembly elections, winning only six seats, has triggered frustration among senior leaders. From Shashi Tharoor to Mani Shankar Aiyar, many have criticized weak organization, wrong decisions, and leadership disconnect, demanding serious introspection and internal reforms.

The opposition began to attack the EC, asserting that it is compromised following the NDA's spectacular victory in Bihar.

The OpIndia team is analysing the results in real time.

The defacement of the Goddess Durga idol in Purnia and the dispute regarding the immersion of the idol of Baba Vishwakarma in Darbhanga have pointed out that peace and harmony in Bihar are under threat.

Aafaq Ahmed Khan said, "National President of Janata Dal (United) and Chief Minister of Bihar Nitish Kumar has appointed Rajiv Ranjan Prasad as National Spokesperson. K C Tyagi, who was in the party as spokesperson, has resigned from the post, citing personal reasons."

The Minister of State for Finance pointed out that the Special Category Status for Bihar was previously considered in 2012 but it did not fulfill the criteria laid down by the National Development Council.
