Following the assembly election results, a wave of political analysis is underway. The defeat of Dr. Ajit Kushwaha, considered the Grand Alliance's dedicated and popular candidate in the Dumraon seat, has sparked numerous discussions. From political circles to local workers, the question is swirling everywhere: whether internal rift within the RJD and the competition over ticket distribution weakened the Grand Alliance's position on this seat. Experts say that before the election, the RJD witnessed serious infighting at the local level. Many contenders were actively staking their claim, leading to a climate of discontent within the party. Even after the tickets were finalized, the fragmentation remained unabated. A significant number of workers participated, but the necessary enthusiasm and unity, considered essential for victory in any electoral contest, were lacking.

Many regional analysts believe that ongoing differences within the RJD family also influenced the atmosphere. The lack of communication from the top leadership down, the lack of coordination at the organizational level, and infighting weakened the Grand Alliance's strategy. As a result, the opposition took full advantage of this situation and adopted an aggressive strategy at the booth level. Despite Dr. Ajit Kushwaha's personal popularity, public relations, and simplicity, the party's weak management and lack of coordination among its workers proved to be a major factor. The Grand Alliance's vote share at many booths was lower than expected, clearly indicating that if the organization had been stronger, teamwork better, and ticket disputes hadn't arisen, the outcome could have been different.

Following the election results, there is now talk that the Grand Alliance will need to strengthen its organizational structure for the future. Transparency in the ticket distribution process, giving importance to local leadership, and addressing worker dissatisfaction could prove to be the keys to future political success. The defeat in Dumraon has certainly forced the Grand Alliance to reconsider that strong organization and unity, not just good candidates, are the true foundation for victory.
