In the aftermath of the Bihar assembly elections, the Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) has raised serious allegations of irregularities, claiming the election results do not mirror the public's will and suggesting electronic voting machine (EVM) tampering.
Senior RJD figures like Jagdanand Singh have voiced plans to move to court, underscoring internal tensions and public disbelief in the election's legitimacy. Calls for a return to ballot paper voting have also emerged.
Amidst electoral defeat, intra-party conflicts within the RJD have intensified, with accusations flying, notably from Lalu Prasad's daughter, Rohini Acharya, implicating party dynamics and leadership choices in the losses and signaling broader dissatisfaction.
