During the National Executive meeting of the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) held in Bihar’s capital Patna, Lalu Prasad Yadav was once again declared the national president of the party.

What difference does it make if we speak?”

Targeting the NDA government, Rabri said, “They gave nothing to Bihar, while our government provided factories. If they had done any real development, there would be no need to roam around among the public today.”

Tejashwi made the party's election strategy clear, stating that now only those who work among the people will get party tickets.

This time, we need a revolution, not just a change in power.”

Former Chief Minister Rabri Devi also addressed the party workers. She said, “Why is the maximum migration from Bihar? Why isn’t there any IT sector here?”
