Newly elected JD(U) MP from Bihar, Devesh Chandra Thakur, found himself at the center of a political controversy after making incendiary comments regarding community voting patterns. Thakur lamented that Muslims, Yadavs, and other key voter groups didn't support the BJP-led NDA, leading to widespread criticism.

In a viral video, the veteran politician expressed disappointment over NDA loyalists drifting towards the opposition RJD. Thakur's statements, especially those targeting specific communities, drew flak from both the RJD and NDA ally BJP, igniting a political firestorm.
