After a significant electoral setback, RJD leader Tejashwi Yadav broke his silence on Thursday, saying he hopes the newly sworn-in Nitish Kumar government fulfills the promises made to the people of Bihar.
His statement comes shortly after Nitish Kumar took oath as Chief Minister for a record 10th time, reaffirming his continued leadership in Bihar politics.
Tejashwi’s remarks signal both acceptance of the election results and a subtle reminder to the ruling coalition that the public will judge them on delivery, not just political alliances.
Tejashwi’s First Reaction After the Rout
In his post-election response, Tejashwi said:
The voters have given their verdict
The Opposition respects the democratic outcome
The new government must prioritise employment, development, and social welfare
RJD will continue to stand up for public issues
Tejashwi also thanked supporters and emphasized “responsible opposition” in the days ahead.

A record-setting 10th term
Continuation of JD(U)-NDA governance
Renewed focus on stability and welfare schemes
Nitish has promised development, employment creation, and improved law and order.
What Tejashwi’s Statement Signals
Political analysts say his comments reflect:
✔ Acceptance of electoral loss
A sign of maturity and recalibration.
✔ Pressure on the ruling coalition
A reminder that promises on:
Jobs
Infrastructure
Price stability
Youth welfare
…will be closely watched.

The Election Rout: What Went Wrong?
According to early assessments:
Anti-incumbency against RJD candidates
Consolidation of NDA vote
Weak turnout in certain constituencies
Stronger booth-level management by rivals
Fragmentation of Opposition votes
Combined, these factors led to a clear victory for JD(U) and allies.

For Nitish Kumar

For Tejashwi Yadav
Strengthening grassroots networks
Reconnecting with youth
Rebuilding the Opposition narrative
With Bihar’s political landscape always unpredictable, both sides will remain under public scrutiny.
